Haven't you noticed that DimBulb is illiterate, as well as being innumerate?

Actually, yes.

It's there, of course, but the only reason you responded in the way you
did was because there was nowhere else for you to go.

True. I don't keep an indexed file of your posts and my replies to them
handy but, since your admitting to error is so rare, perhaps I should
have forwarded a copy of your concession to Ripley's "Believe It Or
Not!"

Hardly.

My comment was about the effort required to corner you if you were
allowed to traverse your web.

In this instance you weren't, and you were forced to capitulate, so my
comment still stands.

Nothing above proves that it's a lie, since it only addresses your
admission of error in a single instance.

Don't address it, just insult it vociferously and pray that it'll go
away?

Typical Slomanesque.

But, in another vein...

I don't know about you, but I'm tired to death of this perpetual
adversity.

Why not address our differences in ways we can politely use to resolve
them, with respect, instead of trying to employ the equivalent
of Zyclon B to quiet your critics?

We all know that we're not stupid, and that includes you, so why do you
persist in trying to make us all look like we're subservient to you?

We both wish he would actually do just that. I don't think he is capable

I know, i have followed through on your links and checked where you have
pointed quite a bit. Your backup is consistently as stated and your
analysis typically correct. If and when i do find something i will say
something.

Actually, we know that you are a goddamned idiot, though you seem to
worship a god who is a bit slow to deliver the damnation.

Where are the lightning bolts when we could really appreciate them?

Back when I was professionally involved with medical ultrasound, half
the money paid to US doctors was passed straight on to their medical
malpractice insurance company. This may have changed in the
intervening decades, but probably not by all that much - medical
malpractice is still the business that saves Americas excessively and
disproportionately numerous lawyers from having to earm an honest
living.
