As usual, I've sent some comments via email, which I simply don't
expect a reply to (betting on the odds... :-)

The only thing I'd like to draw people's attention to is the fact
the "Dr. Mikie" discussions come up at strangely regular
intervals; Or more appropriately, whenever the last discussion-
fest has disappeared.  It always seems that someone, always
someone different, pops in with a few comments that can only
manage to stir something up, yet _one_more_time_.

It has seemed clear for a while that the only intention here is
to keep the old crap alive, stir up some lively arguing, and sit
back and watch the resultant banter.  If I'm wrong about that
impression, I'm sure a reasonable amount of evidence to the
contrary will change my opinion dramatically.

If someone is actually deriving some sort of strange pleasure
from something this sophmoric, then I simply request that
everyone else deny them the reward for their effort.  The issue
is long dead, and long over.  Leave it dead.  Even if someone
else tries to revive it.  Nothing of value can be served.
(Though I still would like to see this research paper :-).

On the other hand, I'm more than willing to offer any information
I have, including opinions.  All anyone needs do, is ask.  Simple.
(My bets are, that will work for most people...)

Yawn.
