  Ooh! I want to read this.  I hereby bandy the reliability of data and the
  certainty of observation!! 
 
 L8? How can one read a post that's late and hasn't arrived yet?
 
Heh heh heh.

L8 in this case means significantly longer than L3, which is the tag for
longish messages.  (There's a thread which includes L3er in the
subject line, meaning longer than L3.)

But I very much like your question.  :)

 If one is going to bandy the reliability of data and the
 certainty of observation, then there will be a certainty of
 decreased observation based upon the reliability of the
 brandy being served during the observation.

Brandy?  Where?

Oh, never mind, I prefer port, anyway.

By using time reversal, of course. Actually, backwards signals in time are
required in one of the more prominant realistic interpretations of QM.

Then the recent weather we've been having would have offered you many
excuses: any port in a storm.  That 8 in 3 hours was a good rain.

Ducks liked it too.

So *that's* what is occuring in the bowels of my
computer?!  I see... Julia wonders if William is a
witch (well, I suppose he'd really be a warlock), and
he _has_ been chanting on-line.  Are you suggesting
that foul play is afoot?  That our Muggle computers
have had their guts goosed by a rogue necromancer
harnessing the power of Cthulu?! (sp)

Thanks for the explanation.  :)

No, on principal, I'm arguing that the answer is uncertain.
