Sorry for the delay there, decided to get some sleep last night while working on a response to Lenny's latest question-of-the-month.
Side notes:
1. Sir Toejam: you might as well let it go. Conso is <b>kaput</b> already. You are NOT able to salvage that claim of his, or you honestly would have done so by now. So let's allow Lenny, therefore, to mercifully change the subject.
2. Andrew, Ken, and Renier: You asked for links to previous Lenny-questions-of-the-month and my responses to them.
So here you go, gentlemen, for your reading pleasure.
******************************************************
In a thread relating to Unitarian Universalists, I respond to Lenny’s "Just ask him" gig.
http://www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2006/03/evolution_101_u_1.html Comment 90517
<quote>Because FL is an arrogant prideful judgemental intolerant prick who thinks (quite literally) that he is holier than everyone else. Just ask him.</quote>
And so I answered Lenny in the very next comment. Partial snip:
<quote> Again, it’s not about any “holier-than-thou’s”, but simple honesty.
These UU folks are honest about their positions, and I’ve tried to maintain that same sense of honesty in describing my stated conclusions about them.
Conclusions based not only on reading and study, but also on multiple visits and getting to know them personally over time.
(I trust that you’ve been through a similar process of study, visiting, and getting to know them personally too, Rev. Lenny. You have, haven’t you?)</quote>
Btw, Lenny has not yet answered ~my~ question after all this time. Maybe Andrew, Ken, and Renier will ask him <b>why not</b>, given Lenny's constant emphasis on people answering ~his~ questions.
**********************************************
Then there was the Evolution Sunday thing. Lenny asked two sets of questions, and I offered him two sets of answers (which he could not refute, of course.).

Scroll down to Comment 79536 to see Lenny’s first set, and then go to Comment 79801 to see my answer to him. Lenny’s second set of questions is at Comment 79539, and my answers for that set are at Comment 79876.
*******************************************
Then there’s the thread “Yet More Desperation at the DI” at
http://www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2006/04/yet_more_desper.html
Lenny asked (comment 96116),
<quote>Um, hey FL, aren’t YOU a YEC …. ?
By the way, FL, since you’re back for another drive-by, would you mind explaining to me why your religious opinions are any more authoritative than anyone else’s?</quote>
And so I answered his questions in Comment 96126. You'll need to read the whole thing (I trust you will), but here’s a partial snip:
<quote>Well, okay. Now I have never claimed that my “religious opinions” are more authoritative than anyone else’s. That statement is honestly yours, not mine.
However, I honestly do believe that my religious opinions may SOUND more authoritative than ~yours~ in particular.
You know why? Because I sit down and make an effort to SUPPORT whatever religious opinions I offer you, from the Scriptures and/or whatever Non-Christian sources may be available.</quote>
And that fact, btw, remains mondo fact unto this day.
************************************************
I also previously answered Lenny’s question of <b>~Adam Versus The Bootleg Bacteria~</b>, but I’m willing to let Lenny or somebody else search for that one.
I ~think~ I've provided enough linked examples for the three of you (and all those "lurkers" out there that Lenny wants to appeal to) to consider at this time. Your request is now answered.
Andrew asked, <i>"why not link said thread so that those of us who weren’t there at the time can judge for ourselves whether you answered it or not?"</i>.
Well, Andrew, your question is legitimate, but there ya go. Read every bit of it (because text demands context, I'm sure you agree), and then Judge Away, sir!

************************************************
(PS. I realize there's still the matter of Lenny's current Flavor Of the Month, but I got three days of Memorial Daw Weekend to play with that one, and so I'll take it easy for now. This current response should be more than enough.)
(PPS specifically for Lenny: your statement <i>"Fortunately, people like FL and Donald make it pretty easy to show the lurkers that creationist/IDers are all dishonest deceptive evasive liars who never answer direct questions and who haven’t said anything new in forty-odd years"</i> is now flat-out <b>~refuted~)</b>.
Since Lenny likes appealing to lurkers, let all lurkers consider, compare & contrast Lenny's stuff and my stuff. I'm content with that comparison.
(And btw, Lenny, you still have offered NOTHING to salvage Conso with, either. Rather <b>predictable</b>, aint'cha? But have yourself a good holiday weekend all the same!)
