If Lee had asked me this question 10 years ago, 2 years ago or a week ago the
answer would have still been the same -- "Yes, I would."

Nope. I never attempted to "convene" anyone in my life, I swear. :) And if I had
attempted it, I would have never dared to try to convince the assembled crowd of
something as ridiculous as *that*. Besides, I would have to be crazy to spend "well
over a year" on such a sure-to-be-fruitless pursuit.

For the last time (I have a feeling I'm going to regret this), it's the
trajectories that are unique, not the atoms (possibly being replaced each hour)
traveling along these trajectories. If you're going to insist on calling me
"priest," at least call me a Priest of Verifiably Unique Trajectories. At least get
*that* right. BTW, Leibniz is the equivalent of Christ in our church. Our
equivalent of the Bible? Leibniz's law. :-)

What followed was a nauseous mix of spin manufactured at the "Zombie Strawman"
factory. Please ignore.
