For someone who claims they don't argue merely for the sake of argument,
you certainly do go on.

If they have failed, do you really think Wayne's ideas would succeed?

There's that high opinion you have of yourself again.

ROFLOL! Both Cassell and I were able to find thousands of references in
seconds and you claim you couldn't find a single reference. I doubt you
even made the effort to do a search.

Is that so? Then explain your claimed zero results when compared to the
ease at which I came up with one.

No, I don't know who you think my heroes are or who you think I pattern myself after.

And here we have your usual ad hom.

You make a comment and when challenged, you act like you're too smart to
deal with such questions. Either back up your claims, or crawl back under
the rock you came from.
