   Bob, I'm sure you know quite well that there are serious thinkers and
conversationalists here on PHIL and THAT contingent changes from time to 
ime,
yet the exchanges are interesting and helpful for each of us.  Unhappily, we
do have the invaders who, as you have so well outlined, come in to set us all
straight using high-sounding phrases and assuming mental superiority even 
ver
the Einsteins of the world, much less us poor, deluded, ordinary human 
eings.
It seems to be a cross PHIL must bear to continue to exist.  
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
