But for your own enlightenment Lakshya, Neutralino is absolutely correct. It's not nice to insult people. If you only learn that at this forum you would have learned a lot indeed.

I can respect anyone that starts from the point of being 'dumb as a door knob'. It is the root point of all wisdom; all new paradigms start from this common point. Look, we're all passionate about our common interests, and passion is a strong emotion. We all get both estatic and irate about what we read here, and hold our own beliefs and visions dear. End result? We'll whack each others'extremities off at times; If you've read any histories of our common scientific discipline/endeavor, we're in pretty good company - Einstein & Bohr, Sandage & everybody else, & what about poor old Hans Alfven (gooood read; google him) - they certainly had their moments,often times not being able to even share an auditorium together. As long as can keep from taking it too personally & holding grudges (like some of them did, even for years), we can share our passions on both sides of the emotional aisle. Passionate dialogue, often emotionally distressing, is often responsible for the new insight/paradigms we experience.
Flame On!
