I prefer not to have discussions on the dead at all, since there is no possible
benefit, that can come of it.

Oh, dear. That certainly limits what we can talk about here. No discussions of Shakespeare, Milton, Plato, Aristophenes, Sophocles, or the like that might include any commments at all on them. No discussion of how Darwin developed his theory and whether ne might have been partly wrong. Basically, no discussion of Christianity or Islam or Buddhism because it's virtually impossible to discuss any of those without discussing people now dead. No discussion of historical events prior to WWI, and pretty much prior to WWII, since almost everybody who was old enough to be of historical interest at the time is dead.

I do hope you change your mind about that. I was looking forward to some discussions with you that would include discussions on some of these and other dead people.
