Well rabbit holes do tend to be confusing, and unfortunately time isn't an unlimited commodity for me. But then again I do prefer discussions that mov...

Forgive me for neglecting this bit, but I just find the next part of your post to be so amazingly fascinating that I can't wait to address it. Earlier...

If you believe that I've done that then I'm sorry. But that being said, I am going to disagree with your argument, after all, that's what this forum i...

Excuse me for jumping into this discussion without first familiarizing myself with what has already been discussed. But I think that you may have over...

Actually, as perceptive as this comment is, it's not quite correct, or perhaps it's better to say that it doesn't give a complete picture of the relat...

I realize that there are any number of reasons why responding to this thread is irrational. For one, its author, YIOSTHEOY, hasn't been active for 7 m...
