Gosh, Jimmy, I don't see any message ID here, either. I have
to say that I looked and looked, high and low, through glen
and dale for any sign of a "hypothesis" and could find nothing.
I did see alot of verbiage, most of which was ridiculed as vapid
and nonsensical, but nothing that one might term a "hypothesis".
I suspect it is because you don't actually have one. At some
point in the past, you had a web site, but then, through
carelessness or disinterest you stopped paying the bill and
your erstwhile ISP yanked it. You then decided to christen
the sum total of your contributions to SAP as your "hypothesis",
suggesting to me that "It's right here in this NG. You've already
seen it." I've already said what I've seen, it remains for you to
prove my assessment wrong --that JM is a blowhard gasbag
with more time than sense and a fondness for insulting the people
with whom he thinks he's debating. Am I wrong? You should really
think about producing here because I'm growing weary of this
classic McGinnian dodge and feint. IOW, Jimmy, you're teetering
on the edge of the piss pail. If you don't wanna play, you're going
for a swim.
Incidentally, I don't have a "hypothesis", as I've already explained.
Further, I think that I have already explained how I don't need one.
My mission is to poke holes in yours --a hypothesis that you've
claimed to be comprehensive, detailed, over-arching, and the final
solution to all the problems in PA. So let's see it, this "hypothesis"
of yours.
