TJ, I didn't bother with a search as I don't have the function to go back to the time as I haven't paid them the necessary fees. Neither does it matter to me sufficiently to do so. Nor do I need oldtimers to honestly stand forward. I'm happy with my own opinions thanks. As I explained, and I will belabour the point for you again, what you thought previously doesn't matter. You either think the future is inevitable, or not, and that that inevitability can be predicted [by you anyway], or not. Or that it's not predictable or inevitable. Or, you can mangle the word meanings so all is both predictable and inevitable while being unpredictable while nobody can do anything about the future although it's worth buying gold to change the future. The old 'grey ooze' theory, where everything is valid. I'm sure you don't care what you used to think and are not bound by those thoughts now. Nor that you have always thought the same as now. For example, your rapid change of thought on shorting Google. Where it is useful to reflect on one's past wrong thinking, is when considering how certain one is these days. I got onto this because it amused me that where it suits you, such as Taiwan's takeover by China, life is inevitable, but where other matters are concerned, life is unpredictable. I didn't see how both could be true simultaneously. I suppose it's inevitable that -old will reach $2000 at TeoTwawki which will mathematically and logically happen last October [2005] as you said it would [or maybe it was something else which you said was a metaphysical certitude then - I forget which; it's a crowded field you offer]. I am still waiting for Taiwan to be taken over by Mao. But I saw a corpse which looked like him so I don't think he will do it. Maybe Deng? No - I remember now, he's gone. How about Jiang Zemin. Wooops, seems he missed though he didn't lose to the reverse takeover/merger/sharing of principles at Tienanmen where the Chinese clones who all think the same had an agreeable discussion about how ant-like they all were, being one big, happy family of agreeable serflings. Maybe you are right and it is inevitable that Hu will do the deed. Meanwhile, while you clutch your gol-, I'll go on selling CDMA phragmented photon cyberphones to both Taiwan and China, not to mention Korea, Japan and ... Hong Kong. Go on, get a bunch of them. You can afford to keep up with the Joneses. You might as well. It's inevitable. So do it sooner and get more benefit. I hereby predict you will join the inevitable. While you dilly dally, I'll sit here waiting for the Rapture, TeoTwawki, go-d to reach $2000, Taiwan to be subsumed, and the inevitable unpredictabilities to become the present. Yawn. I might have a nap while I wait. There should be time. Mqurice
