I learned about four years ago that reasoning with the
Doug/Eric/Barbara/Peter/Arthur person is like nailing jello to a wall.
Refutaton of one of his bizarre positions should of be child's play one
thinks. But just try nailing anything down.  One is dealing with an ever
moving target.  You think you have it but no. It's a misinterpretation. All
possible interpretatons are misinterpretatons.  I know, I know, I know.
Hope springs eternal. Maybe this time it will be different. Several
p-listers whose sincerity and honesty I have to  respect obviously think it
is worthwhile to treat the many headed creature as a serious person. So be
it and to each his own.
