You're far from being alone Dave. If you'll look over your shoulder with a big enough set of binoculars; you'll see me back down the path somewhere, along with some others. That's me waving at you from the side of this mountain you just throwed in my way at post #133. So, I might be climbing for a while, but don't worry; I'll see you in the valley on the other side, and hopefully at the end; wherever this path which we try so hard to trek and understand is taking us.

I'm intellectually claustrophobic. Some things weren't made to box up.....A mind is one of those things.

Now, if we can just get you to write some ground breaking book that shifts the current paradigm; thus, with my understanding of your concepts (once I get over the mountain), I could go from being a neophyte to a scientist.......alright......alright......that's stretching it a bit; but I would be proud to have been a part of these discussions, and to say I knew you.

So.....where's the movie you hinted to on your toronics thread? You haven't gotten lazy on me again, have you?

BTW: I left some of my mindless ramblings for your discussion on the previous page (#'s 139 & 140), while you were making your last post. I say this because; if you have a ten post per page format, you probably wouldn't see them unless you were to happen to go back.

later,
