    Ian:

    I don't know if you're playing some kind of game or what, but I honestly
    have no idea what you're trying to say. What is magic? What are you thanking
    me for? What does "that" refer to? How is it that making a statement and
    making sense are two different things, simultaneously or otherwise. And I
    really don't see a catch-22 in this at all. What are you refering to with
    that? Now you're not just failing to make sense, you're coming across as a
    man who has recently experienced a serious blow to the head.

    You know what, never mind. Let's just say I don't get you.

    Magic, thanks David ...

    [QUOTE]
    How do [I] figure the word [scientific] has anything to do with being
    politically correct?
    I'm sorry Ian, but this doesn't make any sense.
    [UNQUOTE]

    That's precisely why.

    It's unthinkable [to you] that I could simultaneously make that statement
    AND be making any sense at the same time.
    (I suspect that you secretly completely agree with me BTW. It's that old
    Catch-22 again.)

    Ian
