I really appreciate your comments. The last thing I want to do is ruin a wonderful site as this. It attracted me because of all the interesting minds and I don't want to take away from that.

By the way, I really don't want this fight with Aurino. I was reading some of our correspondence with him at Counterbalance, and the majority of our time is really quite positive and edifying. We had our falling out there too. We must just be on the opposite side of personalities or something (rationalist vs mystic, North Hemisphere vs. South Hemisphere, realist vs antirealist, descended Protestant vs descended Catholic, etc). Whatever it is, it's a shame.

I'm willing to forget the last couple of days if he's willing to. I wish everyone would just focus on the content of what we are saying and forget Ph.D.'s in physics, and forget attacking the person, etc. Isn't that what this forum is about?

Warm regards, Harv
