Peter, If you have anything substantive to say about homeschooling or some of the specific reasons 72% of the homeschoolers in the U.S. are homeschooled, then please let me know. Otherwise, I think it is better to close this discussion. Now, as far as the personal trivia you have posted in your last post, are concerned, here are my responses.

Personal insults embedded in untruthful personal trivia would lead you nowhere. The dishonest excuse you gave me in this forum was that you did not want to waste my time with personal trivia. And in the very same statement you mentioned that my personal work was subsidized by the American taxpayer. > >I am not embarrassed about anything and, if you are, >I don't need to know about it. > I thought you would be embarrassed about wasting time on personal trivia and discussions in Goan forums after having publicly stated that you are not going to waste time in this manner. > >This is nonsense.

The fact that you have dismissed the following assertion of mine as nonsense is in and of itself quite revealing: "that you have suddenly discovered the value of taxpayer-supported secular scientific research, which is dependent on a proper understanding of evolutionary biology" > >As a side note, you should be very careful about >passing off assumptions as facts. > Actually, it is you who should be careful about revealing your understanding of other peoples assertions. Please read what I wrote again. I said that the facts are my assumptions, not the other way around. Cheers, Santosh
