Indeed. It should be apparent that I'm not really directing my 
comments on these topics (cold fusion and psi) to John, but to anyone 
on the list perhaps open to my arguments and interested in making 
their own investigations--as Ben Goertzel, who's surely smarter than 
John or I, did on this list. Madness, as I think someone quoted here 
recently (or more likely misquoted), is endlessly repeating the same 
actions while expecting a different outcome. It's obvious that 
neither John nor I will change as a result of evidence or abuse, so 
let's leave it there.

Until next time, when of course it might turn out different.
