Seems you don't recognize that your response to the original post was itself a bit unfriendly. It was. I responded in kind. And your apparent 'contradictions' result in nothing more than inconclusive speculation on your part. You really don't *know* the truth of the matter. All I did was offer Dr. Varma's account. And while I'm not surprised at the responses, it was not my intention to generate so much unnecessary noise from critics, who themselves, DON'T REALLY KNOW. > Sharing personal opinions is the heart of a message board like this one.
