Please keep the discussion civil, Greg.
Tim, Your public admonishment to maintain civility is no less a breach
of civility than my disagreement and admonishment to maintain a focus
on our situation rather than spooky problems elsewhere.
My apologies to Gwern if my tone was recieved as excessively harsh,
for that was not my intention. I do think the background references
would be useful to others, so thank you for that.
No, I wasn't bothered - I've been online long enough that my think skin
disappeared a long time ago. I was more bothered that anyone thought I was wrong. :)
