Hi Scott,
I am not acusing you of anything, but see here you do it once again,
advocating that info crossing the germ- soma barrier is contentious, not
impossible but open to debate...and that is what I like.
Slamming the door in somebody's face is no neat thing to do, you did not
by the way, hear somebody out, see that his arguments stick together and
make up than your conclusion.
I have recently spoke to Steele about our common interest points and what
he replied upon my post(s) leaves me thinking that I am not ' so wrong '
after
all.
But I need more time to work things out...
So thanks for the positive way in which you see things....
Best regards,
Kenneth
( I am, because we are) 164, or was it will you still feed me when I am 64
!?
I am not by the way....
