Having said that, I can also confess that the need I was acting from when I wondered what respect Skeptic-D has for his own name was to protest his referring to me by a deliberately massaged name. Perhaps I would have appealed better to him had I been more direct. I simply hope now that he will not exhibit behaviour as unnecessarily and offensively childish as that again. That said, I think we all owe Skeptic-D thanks for the thinking he has contributed in his recent posts, even as I think he, as we, would all improve the quality of learning that occurs on the TT if we were, very consciously, to avoid posts that rely upon reading another's mind. Since I have never found a crossbowman post to include any claims of mind reading "truth", I want to make specifically clear here that I am not casting any aspersions on any of crossbowman's posts.
