Dr Towe, You have fallen victim to the very disease of which you
previously complained. You are attacking the person rather than the
argument. You will know this as 'ad hominem'.

I AM very busy. I have today spent 15 hours visting a small obscure
town some 300 miles away from where I live and examining physical
evidence which eventually will lead me to a conclusion which I can
support IN DETAIL.

Please don't criticise me for refusing to join in with your only
partly informed free for all over the VM.
