Bad News with a silver lining

[Thumpalumpacus]

There is nothing of substance....there is no coherent argument which I can respond too.

Wrong. There's substance there ... but you have to have facts to address the point.

As for your ability to respond, I've already posted: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think." You have to be able to hold contrary points in your head in order to reckon their value in the balance. This is clearly an ability you need to practice.

I think you and I have both stated our positions in detail and we can let the readers of this thread can decide who is right.

I've provided detail; you've provided rhetoric. If you think the two are the same, that might explain your simple-minded views.
