Okay, I apologize for that too. Anyone else want a piece of this? My frustration with this whole group is that scholarship is so spotty. You let the nuts get away with so much crap that besmirches sound thinking -- because there's just so much "wrong" being displayed here that you would have to spend your whole lives here trying to educate them. And I haven't come up with a solution for this any more than the rest of you. That's why I've lurked for years -- why get into lose/lose scenarios? Look at what a mess I made of it responding to someone pontificating about astronomy! And worst, sooner or later I will be pontificating just as badly and be in denial about it. I'm about to post a long explanation of my present philosophy. Maybe it'll get something going here that I can be satisfied with. We'll see. I'll take a chance. Edg
