Having watched this "debate" go on for several days, as well as
many other such debates in the past, I feel moved to observe that
this debate has taken the list to a whole new level of erudition.
That is, though the tone is very much like previous ones, the
language skills required to follow along are allowing me to cut
back on some of my vocabulary practice time.

If I told you my history and my background relevant to such you
would
term me....................... and........... and STILL totally
miss
what I enjoy, the sharing, the fun of science. As for me, call
me
anything you like as long as it is not late for dinner. Time to
stop
this supercilious rant Mr./ Dr / Prof. Kennedy. If it makes you
feel
elitist, make a voodoo doll resembling my image you learned in
Chaper X
of your favorite chemistry text (or I can loan you one of mine)
and
stick needles in it. .....but not on this forum.
I'm interested in learning exploring focusing on questions rather
than
trite answers - - - have not changed in all these years. Look at
the
wonderful posts on this list today ranging from galaxies to Kokomo
glass and visions of Tiffany standing there directing the
production of
his next shipment. I could care less who you are, only what you
do
that makes the world a better place. Stop this nit twit. Go
volunteer
in your community, read a book, whatever. The list deserves
better
than all this endless pointless consumption of bandwidth which is
why
you no longer see my direct responses to recidivistic issues you
post -
- - - nor will you in the future.

How little you know......... The above statement is testament
to how
shallow, distorted and convoluted your rendering of what I
offered. I
can NOT teach you. ......and I have no interest in trying on your
plane. But, YOU...... YOU can STOP this perfidy for the
benefit
of ALL. Stick a needle in and let us proceed to other things.
The
world is flat.... Keep searching....... I genuinely wish you
well.
