- OK, Sarfatti, a fair cop. I was in error. Post in haste, repent at
- leisure. I usually spend a much longer time writing posts, and check
- them more carefully. I thought that this time I could save time by
- cutting straight to the point, and I slipped up.

- I would feel a bit more contrite about this if I thought you generally
- used equal care in producing your postings and replies. You agreed
- before that your previous "FTL in standard QM" derivations had been in
- error. They were in fact-- ALL of them. But it took *weeks* for us to
- get you to admit to the possibility. In the meantime, you often
- concluded, based on your errors, that criticisms were obviously
- incorrect. This was arrogant and emotionally biased, the thing which
- you criticize me for.

- I did tell you this before, pointing out the analogy with classical
- electromagnetism (although I don't know if I would call it "the" real
- reason, but rather "a" real reason). I am relieved you see it now.
