^^ Nicely said, Marvo!

You know, I was going to write a sarcastic "Thank you" to Astralboy for destroying this thread, but now that I think about it, he may have done us a good service, given the very high quality of the responses to his nonsense.

So in a sense, Astralboy's trolling (or adamant adherence to a worldview that refuses to believe that any knowledge matters, which is the unlikely but honorable stance I'm kind or rooting for) was helpful, in a twisted, exasperating sort of way... it was even sort of on-topic, if you look at it with really squinty eyes.

So thanks Astralboy -- it might have not have been the result for which you had hoped, but you might have accidentally done a real service to this thread. It would be great, though, if you never did it again!
