You 'string together' several ill-founded ideas in this post. You really ought to employ more rigour in your assertions. Perhaps your posts ought not be so brief.
Seriously, David, I for one do not engage you more extensively for the same reason that others occasionally back off. Slade came up with an expression to describe it. (SLADE: Do you remember what it was?) You have a way of 'rabbit trailing' discussions to the point of exhaustion.
