List-Id: Oh, Lord, here we go again. Ted, to the extent that your postings make good technical points in unemotional language, they are very interesting. I have no problem with their being controversial; newsgroups are fine for controversy. To the extent that you continue to insult people and resort to ad hominem attacks, your postings are not only tiresome but diminish your credibility to the vanishing point. People who disagree with your theories (or with whose theories you disagree) are not necessarily stupid or "misguided." They do not hold a monopoly on the truth; neither do you. PLEASE stop using the newsgroup as a platform for emotional attacks. Try to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, OK? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Michael Feldman Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science The George Washington University Washington, DC 20052 +1-202-994-5253 mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
