Pat,

I must say that I am exhaustedly honered to be up late enough to be one of the first to respond to your last post. I find your and SteveG's posts to be both entertaining and informative. Your last post was both. The two of you are soo much alike and yet soo vastly different.

Michael & Eric's last posts sum up my feelings on this subject almost completely. I would just add that when we let emotion seep into our Posts and responses we tend to lose objectivity. The birth of a new baby is reason for un-objective joy!

From Napoleon Hill's "Principles of Success"

"Accurate thinking is based on two major fundamentals:

1. Inductive reasoning, based on the assumption of unknown facts or hypotheses.
2. Deductive reasoning, based on known facts or what are believed to be facts.

In school we are taught deductive and inductive reasoning and the fallacy that results in starting with the wrong premise in the one instance and making the wrong inference in the other. Accurate thinking and common sense are part of the result of experiences. You can learn from your own experiences as well as those of others when you learn how to recognize, relate, assimilate, and apply principles in order to achieve your goals.

1. Separate facts from fiction or hearsay evidence.
2. Separate facts into classes: important and unimportant.

Be careful of others' opinions. They could be dangerous and destructive. Make sure your opinions are not someone else's prejudices. The accurate thinker learns to use his or her own judgment and to be cautious no matter who may endeavor to influence him or her."

Here's hoping for renewed objectivity and continued productivity on this thread.

Best Regards and good night,

Milkman

P.S. Norman, you have a one track mind.

<..When dealing with women, you need a saint. ..>

Sorry - I come from a later school of thought which appreciates a person on their merits, and is independant of their sex.

Amusing story, though. I never cease to be impressed by your writing abilities. Just as a hobby, have you ever considered publication - as a novelist or in advertising?

This doesn't address, however, the previously described issue of your dishonesty, or of your dishonorable and irresponsible breach of an important promise (or even of just social propriety). Nor does it address your unscrupulous method of unjustified ad hominen attacks in place of discussion/defense of your Amati thesis.

So though you may be too frail of character to publicly admit and be responsible for your transgressions, the cute and clever ploy of your post does not not supplant the void of propriety (and of integrity) that you have left standing here.

Be well-

Steve
