"I agree. Not (only) because you gave Struan a lesson, but because you
have seen the MOQ solution to the quandary. I think we have a pretty
good consensus about this matter ....for the first time in our
annals. :-)"
First time in your anals more like!
What I actually said was, "Those who want to marry QUANTUM PHYSICS with the MoQ will have to
reformulate this aspect completely."
Spot the subtle difference in argument!! Inventing bones of contention merely raises questions about
your motivation to which the answers are reasonably obvious.
Part of being constructive and relevant involves us all reading what others say, then thinking and
checking our reply before we actually send it. There is no excuse for such a basic flaw. Integrity
and accuracy are quite important on this kind of forum so please desist from abusing it.
Thank you
Struan
