- well, Jeff, i wasn't trying to take a cheap shot (i thought i was
- reasonably polite..)
- you started this thread with a supposed proof and (i thought) a promise
- to respond to serious challenges to it. i made one, to which you didn't
- respond, because you were flooded with responses--fine, it's your time,
- not mine. i just wanted to state that i was disappointed with how the
- debate turned out, and that my points were not addressed.
- you also claimed that you addressed successfully the points to which you
- responded, and i claim you did no such thing.
-
- as for the last paragraph i wrote--i stand by it. i think you would
- have to turn off your mind in order to still believe that proof of yours
- even after all the holes have been pointed out. just my opinion, no hard
- feelings intended, but you show the classic behavior of unshakable faith--
- refusal to be disproven.
