And here is how you LOSE an argument: You ignore it and result to name
calling (sunshine and francis). Benighted and infantile comments like
that are why I usually don't respond to these lists often, unless I'm
really compelled to. I have been an observer mostly and enjoyed many of
the intellectual discussions I've read. Concomitantly, I have deleted
in bulk when the arguments were as dull as this one has become. Of
course, since I don't respont often, I am considered an outsider and
will be censured and alienated the moment I speak up. C'est la vie.
Still, I hold nothing against you, Mr. Hochman, understanding how
tempting it can be to resort to perjorative comments in such a protected
environment. Have a nice day.
