That would make possible some very intresting human behavior
experiment.


As if Michael Baldwin Bruce's behavior isn't already a very interesting
experiment.


It's more of your classic evasion, Tholen.


Illogical, Tholen, and rather ironic, coming from the person who has
tholed more, using your concept of the term.


My own guess would be that Tholen would "win" (computer die before he
stops responding).


What you guess is irrelevant, Törnsten.


On what basis do you speak for everybody around here, Tholen?


What you think is irrelevant, Tholen.


Touche!

You make Dickless look the fool that he is.


Who is "Dickless", Bruce? There is no such person involved in the
discussion. Still suffering from reading comprehension problems?


Thank you for posting to alt.astronomy, Dr. Tholen.


It was Michael Baldwin Bruce who chose to add that irrelevant
newsgroup to the distribution.


An update on your studies of asteroids near the Sun would always be
welcome here.


I do not subscribe to alt.astronomy.


Well, don't just re-buff the Man, Tholen!


Dr. Tholen has made many discoveries in astronomy. He would have much
to offer an astronomy group if he wanted to.


I subscribe to sci.astro, which is an astronomy group.


But it seems that when he
gets on Usenet, he just wants to fool around.


What seems to you is irrelevant, Double-A. The fact is that I don't
fool around at all. I do stand my ground against antagonists like
Michael Baldwin Bruce. It was Michael Baldwin Bruce who was doing
the fooling around, trolling in a thread about colored text in
DeScribe.


Maybe that's how he blows off steam.


Maybe not.


Trout 'tickling' ...


Key words: "He blows" !


Non sequitur.


If I wanted any lip off you, I'd wipe it off of Bruce's zipper!


What does that have to do with colored text in DeScribe?


Orbes volantes exstare.


What does that have to do with colored text in DeScribe, Loonie?


Those who claim that 'alien abductions' are real, make some very "non

Is that why you just made a non sequitur assertion, Loonie?

What do your question marks have to do with colored text in DeScribe, Loonie?

Yes, I know that, " Note: no response. " pattern. You emphasized it
deliberately in your earlier response. Thus, I concluded that I wasn't
seeking some ghostly, meaningless message below the noise floor. If
that had been such' I would have expected your response to be
deliberately more random. I certainly don't "think" that you are
mindless about it; notwithstanding that 'mindlessness' could be the
mindfull message.

The question that I asked was a wishful, rhetorical one. I expected you
to respond with further clues; yet also to appreciate that I was asking
a rhetorical qurestion in an open manner.

Thus, you could hardly be more obivious in your clue, aside from
repeating the same pattern for a response, herein.

Give me a while to "think about it", eh. Your message could be one of
dumb, bloody mindedness. ... That would be an unfortunate thing for
me to accept; albeit that I am prepared to do so.

Nevertheless; should 'dumb, bloody mindedness', or the set of
inferences that fall in that category; be so .... ... it would
indicate:

1) You are are exceedingly, cynical ...

... and/or... ( and I don't even know if such is inclusive or
exclusive )

2) You are being very boring about it.

If either or both of these 2 inferences were so; it would sadden me.

And yes; I am assuming responses of the form ...

"Note: no response."
"What you ...*... is irrelevant"
"Classic erroneous presupposition"

... and/or in conjunction with other common reiterations.

Cordially,

RL

------------------------------------------------------------

I did not presuppose *only* two possibilities; more accurately; I
expressed two possibilites. For myself, the distinction, between
"assumed" and "emphasized" is neither obscure; nor frivolous. ...
Rather, it is immensely important to me personally. I am strongly
sensitized to such things.

These qualities, both motivate me to engage you in this dialogue and
set out the context by which I mean that which I intend.

You will *perhaps* notice a tautological quality to that which I am
asserting. The slightly disparate emphasis; as set out in the circular
flow; serves to define an oxymoron which in turn affords an extreme
amplification in descriptive emphasis.

I have casually known theoretical physicists, theoretical chemists and

them all as being quite similar, in the manner they went about their
activities. More recently, I realized that there were some very
striking and consequential, FUNDAMENTAL differences w.r.t. the ways
that they approached their interests. More importantly, I started to
realize that many of those professionals; were either unaware of such a

subsequently forgotten about it's existence. I can perceive that such
oversights, do result in serious impediments which also pass by
unnoticed.

When I started reading this newsgroup, a year ago I presupposed that
astronomers were similar in temprement and and skills to physicists;
accepting of couse that theoreticians and experimentalists are very
different 'breeds' of individual. It was a great pleasure for me to
gain the realization that astronomer's are a breed unto their own, by a
wide margin.

Moreover, as I write this, it starts to occur to me that ' astronomy'
and 'cosmology' aren't the same thing at all, nothwistanding that they
share the ' Universe ' as an overlapping interest. They differ in the
approach by which they go about describing that joint concern.

I've "decided", I'm still always watching and analyzing


I was impressed by thinking that that you might express such a
sentiment. For me, the remark suggested a very skillfull and delicate
appreciation with something that is very difficult. IME, being able to
think in a criticl and strongly convegent manner can be a big
disadvantage.

Below, is an example from everyday, life. I posted it, elsewhere ...

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck, smells
like a duck, it MUST BE A DUCK!

Right?

1) It is a duck ( Ockham's razor )
2) It is sly Mr. Fox fraudulently misrepresenting himself as a duck.
( ? )

How can one select between the two choices?
Cleverness is not allowed! [ I am deliberately squashing any extended
consideration :-) ]

Answer: ... a person cannot. .. that's how it is ACCEPT IT.

( Aside: to discriminate, one needs to use anti-ockham ... Ockhams,
teacher Duns Scotus ... splitting hairs, 'Doctor Subtilis' ) now
THAT'S IRONIC!


Fraud is a very real and a very difficult problem. When viewed in
another context, the same qualities and considerations can be seen to
limit and confound scientific enquiry, profoundly.

The distinction between philosophy and sophistry is a secondary one.
Whether one likes it or not; ' bull**** ' makes the word go round, eh.

T'would seem that a person who has sensibilty concerning the obvious is
apt to have great skill at discrimination. In my uninformed opinion, it
may also provide a plausible, essential ingredient for a great
astronomer.

---------------------------------------

What you have stated below is NOT how it is with myself.

Classic erroneous presupposition that those are the only two
possibilities.



If your intent in saying such a thing was to riddicule, me ...
(... and I do not know your intent ...)

Then in truth, you are mocking yourself.

In this specific circumstance, such holds, regardless of what I might
think, understand, be cognizant in regard, or infer.

For me there are too many inferred possibilities to see what you are
implying.

Only a few of those possibilities would carry the connotation that you
were re-acting and/or being bitter. For myself, those paths are boring
and pointless.

Those inferences, for which it is implict that you are being sincere;
or that you are more skillfull than myself; or that your ability
resides elsewhere than my own; or that I might be over closed minded
about it, or .. , or ...

Should your response to me be cast in this manner; it is tantalizing,
stimulating and worthwhile.

Answer if, when, and, as may you choose ....

This is Usenet. You are free to say or ignore whatever you please. I

I did not presuppose *only* two possibilities; more accurately; I
expressed two possibilites. For myself, the distinction, between
"assumed" and "emphasized" is neither obscure; nor frivolous. ...
Rather, it is immensely important to me personally. I am strongly

These qualities, both motivate me to engage you in this dialogue and
set out the context by which I mean that which I intend.


What does that have to do with colored text in DeScribe, Loonie?

You will *perhaps* notice a tautological quality to that which I am
asserting. The slightly disparate emphasis; as set out in the circular
flow; serves to define an oxymoron which in turn affords an extreme
amplification in descriptive emphasis.

He has discovered many asteroids, and even has one named after him.
More dauntingly, he discovered an asteroid that is on a track to bring
