UNBELEIVABLE!!
I think I have just witnessed an ego massive enough to distort time and
space enough to turn a proportion ammounting to less than half a
percentage of the general population to "everybody but Alan Grimes and
the few crackpots who agree with him."

Please don't take this as an insult but rather as a bucket of cold
water.

That's fine, I didn't ask that.
It all comes down to what one beleives and values, and I have already
said what I wanted to say.

I wouldn't know.
The volume of discussion on that list excedes what I have the capacity
to read.
