| Dear dleviwing:
It may surprise you to know that I do look over many of your posts and it's not to correct your typo's. It's because I learn a lot from you, and Lloyd, as well as others. In the former cases, in spite of your fractious potentials for abrasiveness.
Your information about Newton's Principia is interesting, for example.
Notwithstanding the fact that I'm still referencing the English translation as regards the statements Newton makes about an 'impelling or repelling' alternative regarding gravity. A few entries ago you said that no such entry was in your copy and I replied with a quote of that entry, which does in fact occur in every of all of Newton's Principia Prefaces, in all languages, to the best of my knowledge. It seems we've wandered a little off course since your 'bogus' terminology aimed at my credibility, which hazarded your own credibility in turn.
Regards
- RP
