Hey! That's me!

I'm stopping anyway, for two reasons:
1). We've reached the point where the amusement value from
poking this particular puppy with a pointed stick is about played out
(for me anyway).
2). I think it would be fun to see Peter's reaction to being
completely ignored (which, I personally believe he deserves
for introducing his rhetorical acronyms, for stating that
certain posters obviously don't understand this or that bit
of pedagogy that they clearly understand quite well, and
for deliberately ignoring details of posts that he's either
incapable of responding to or incapable of understanding).
3). I guess it would be somewhat polite to the regular
denizens of comp.theory and sci.logic (if there are such
people). As for talk.bizarre, well, I think once you've
tasted the particular flavor of kookiness that is Peter
Olcott, there's no need to gorge yourself at the trough.
4). [George Hammond] does this whole weird science thing
much better anyway.

YMMV...

Ciao!
