No, all I ask is that you keep up to speed with the thread, that you do not
attribute views to me which I do not espouse and have never expressed, and
that you do not drag up issues which I have already dealt with in
considerable depth and detail.

What outlandish statements are these? Quote me, please, don't paraphrase, as
your paraphrases appear to relate only to things which exist inside your
head and have no relationship to what was actually said. Show me where I
denied that there is a problem.

And where, precisely, did I voice this argument? If you want to be
unimpressed by things I never said and don't consider to be true, you go
right ahead. I find it a rather silly and unconstructive way of behaving,
but if that's what turns you on, hey, go for it.
