I gather that you do not remember any of those posts, and you do not know how to use your newsreader or Google to go back and find any of those dozens of times when it has been explained to you. I surmise that you are slipping into dementia, where each day begins anew, with any lessons learned the previous day forgotten. I don't think it's a good use of my time to explain the same thing to you each day, only to have you retire at night and forget it by morning, do you? PD

NoEinstein If you will answer the multiple-choice question below on the basis of your common-sense, then this will be an excellent test of whether common-sense is a liar and a cheat. Are you afraid to confront the truth about your common sense, John? Are you not strong enough to inspect common sense in the face to learn whether it should be trusted?
