Now compare and contrast this statement which you
profess to believe, with your utter incapability to
understand what "dozens if not hundreds" of people
are telling you when they say that your ravings are
misplaced in comp.ai.philosophy, a newsgroup which
has precisely no charter admitting discussions of
Skinnerian behaviorism, and draw what conclusions
your broken thinking processes can accomplish for
you using only that information.

A modification of your behavior would be most
welcome, but least expected, as the outcome of such
introspection.
