They have the very similar style of absolutely refusing to believe what
people who know what they're talking about tell them, preferring
outlandishly mystical explanations.

Including, of course, Franz's.

Was that an apology? If it was I'll forgive all the donuts you will
owe me in the future just as long as you remember that I write fiction
and respect that I am a libertarian.

Apology?? For what??

Donuts????

How would I know that you write fiction or are a libertarian?

All I know is that your approach is identical to Heidi's, so when you
appeared here, I thought you were Heidi, who had been gone for months
(but has now reappeared).

Ookee ... whaaat.ever.

I read that the Dravidian word for fish "min" is the same sound as
their word for star; therefore they use the fish pictogram with other
pictograms when writing about a star. In Chinese the word for good
luck sounds like the word for bat "fu" and they are both used as
symbols for good luck. Is there a term used to describe this homonymic
associative meaning thing?
