Hi Albatrossity2,

I didn't want you to feel left out. |
Thanks for the concern. I wish I thought it was sincere. |
Oh, it's sincere but not necessarily in a positive way. You may have noticed I am in the habit of responding, in turn, to all who comment.
It was easier to include you in then risk whatever you would do if you felt left out.

Ironic, isn't it? You can't accurately detect motives from a written comment here, and yet you expect us to think that you can detect motives elsewhere in the universe. |
It's duly noted that you duly noted my lack of chasing an off topic subject. 
I do not expect you to think anything specific. This is not a debate, it is a discussion about unsubstantiated presumptions people have.

More than that, some people would be glad we "...discovered something new and wonderful about the universe."
Would you?

I'm not trying to make a case. This is a discussion.
| Quote (Albatrossity2 @ Feb. 13 2010,09:32) | | But if the Blathering about on an online forum is also probably not a good way to find that evidence, but if it feels good to you, then please continue to make yourself feel better. |
Actually this thread is going better than I had expected. So, yes, I am feeling good about it.
Thank you.
