It's obvious that the goal here is not agreement. It's also obvious
that there will be no handshake (though I'd not refuse to agree, no
matter what I say now; the Qur'an actually says, "Do not let your
oaths keep you from doing what's right.")
Okay, the Qur'an does not actually say that. I lied. The Qur'an says
something in Arabic. That's merely a translation, my own. I made it
up. But anyone who knows the Qur'an will recognize it.

Guys, I would very much prefer it if this thread were to be
terminated. It is apparent that there will never be agreement
between the parties involved in the dispute and highly unlikely that
one or the other will modify his beliefs. Why not just shake hands
(electronically of course) and change the subject to LENR or
something else more interesting.
I suspect that I am not the only one with this opinion.
I'm sure. Thanks for sharing.
I've acted to make sure that these seriously off-topic threads have
the [OT] tag. Others keep expanding this, with new threads, but I'm
continuing to make sure that the [OT] designation is maintained. I
would also respect *whatever* the list owner requests. That's a
promise. If somehow that made my participation here untenable (I
doubt that), I simply would go away.
Perhaps people here are familiar with the cartoon of the fellow who
is being called to dinner by his wife. "I can't come now, Someone is
Wrong on the Internet." I get it. Been there, done that. I have the
T-shirt. That way lies madness.
I'm close enough to madness, routinely, as it is.
