What do you suggest I do differently? ====================================== Dump gmail and use a conventional newsreader when posting to usenet. Else stop complaining like a woman about putting the seat down when she fails to put it up.

I wonder if it is a mere coincidence that so many abusing usenet guys, the ones that start all the fights, the ones that seem uninterested in philosophy, are the most animated when airing their sexist piggish attitudes?

That "different language" causes a lot of false conclusions made by people who don't know what the Scientific Method is. There is no _truth_ in science. This "truth" thing is used by a lot of politicians to lead these people by the nose. >After all > a premise is a premise.

Unfortunately, they are purposely unaware of anything to do with math, too. /BAH
