In any case, I clearly was NOT speaking of the afterlife (unless, of course your planning on dying in the next few days). I write my postings carefully, checking my references, rereading or skimming material where possible and checking my library for what others, critics and supporters have said on the subject. This takes time, of which I have only a little to spare (actually none, these postings take time from my parapsychological research, but I consider it part of any scientists job to inform the public about his/her field). Technically, I have already posted the answer to this, since I will talk about nothing which was not in the list of citations to the parapsychological literature which I posted. The purpose of my "cliffhanger" was to indicate my informed belief that a positive answer to the question was to be found there, and that, as it happend, I was already busy summarizing some of the relevant literature. I really don't see why you thought your response made any useful contribution to the discussion.
