If you didn't want to discuss the properties of particles, why did you
insist on arguing about the ``size'' of a muon even after you were told
that (1) it didn't make sense to talk about it's size, and (2) that
``size'' was irrelevant? If you didn't want to discuss the properties of
particles, why did you misquote what I said about particles rather than
respond to what I did write so that you could rephrase your question
to discuss ``the properties of time'' as you are claiming above?

The simplest way to discuss what you say you wanted to discuss would
have been to discuss it rather than misquoting replies and arguing
about the properties of particles. Now, you are arguing about the argument.
What you claim you wanted to discuss and what you are doing to
acheive your goal are mutually exclusive.
