Such a rumor certainly wasn't part of the discussion until you brought it up. Why do I have this sneaking suspicion that you couldn't care less where Ron got the idea from, you just wanted an excuse to make the TMO look bad?
Well now, that would depend on how Ron intended it. He wrote me offlist and stated his source, but I'm waiting to hear whether or not this included the vedas.

You remind me of the right-wingers who go hunting for unseemly comments on lefty blogs and then attempt to characterize the entire left as out of line on the basis of a nitwit comment or two. There's even a name for it now: nutdiving.
