Welcome first: Java Man, I enjoyed your thought experiment immensely. I hope you teach.
Thanks: RAZD, I noticed that John Ponce got no replies to his query about whether you had refuted his arguments. I just finished reading the entire thread, Msgs. 1-198, and this member of the gallery thinks: yes, John, RAZD ate your lunch.

No thanks, John: I stopped buying snake oil a long time ago.
Your consistent use of fallacious argument, misdirection and rhetorical sleight of hand demonstrate that you are prepared to abuse reason.
RAZD is correct; there is no gallery. There is a forum community in which I participate as do many others. My appreciation of RAZD is directed at the hard and tedious work required to delineate your abuses of reason for the record; the abuses themselves are apparent.
