[In reply to message sent Mon 15 Jun 1987 23:23-PDT.] This dispute strikes me as unnecessarily longwinded. I imagine that the alleged point at issue and a few of the positions taken could be summarized for the benefit of those of us whose subjective probability that there is a real point at issue is too low to motivate studying the entire discussion but high enough to motivate reading a summary.
