- 1) The debate may have been addressed to *your* satisfaction elsewhere, but
- unfortunately not everyone, myself included, sees these
- supposedly-devastating published arguments as remotely convincing.
-
- 2) I find your knowledge of what I have and have not read fascinating: how
- do you come by this data? Surely you can't be equating 'reading' with
- 'beleiving and accepting without question'?
-
- 3) If you find it "unproductive and tiresome" to see debate about these
- points, then I suggest you take the original poster aside and suggest
- that they not set the crossposting to sci.skeptic, where such blinkered
- assertions are routinely challenged whatever the published ETH proponents
- party line says the only acceptable opinion is.

- I'd think as someone opposed to defamation of our ET brethren, you'd have
