In that sense anything from the boundaries
of the local cluster done could be considered
local.

No, the argument I gave was applicable to such
models but I didn't say that all tired light
models were of that type. You assumed I meant
that.

Now who's hand waving? Please give some details,
where does the energy come from and how is it
distrubuted over this 'local' region?

We have been discussing the data that shows the
CMBR has a spectrum that matches a black body,
for example FIRAS.

I disagree. Although the quotes seem broken to me,
I can see two ways that such arguments could be
constructed and the quotes reflect those methods
to a degree.

We have already discussed them.

So explain how your CMBR source is "local". Is it
because the electrons are only heated locally, or
do they radiate everywhere and we only detect
local radiaton due to extinction or, is it for
some other reason I haven't guessed?
