Oh, and there's no need to apologise - one of the things I'm loving about this discussion is that even the people I disagree with about things are awesome people with valid and intellectually challenging points. So many Internet debates I get involved with are against ignorant people brimming with logical fallacies, whose arguments consistent of them trying hard to find semi-plausible 'arguments' (composed of non sequiturs, fallacies, and appeals to authority) to justify their prejudices, who I have trouble not getting angry with - so this is a real treat! Yeah, yeah, low standards, I know... ;-) ABS -- Alaric Snell-Pym Work: http://www.snell-systems.co.uk/ Play: http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/alaric/ Blog: http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/archives/author/alaric/ _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
