I erased Jerry's missive by mistake and was just recently able to 
retrieve it via gopher.

I do belong to a sect, the sect of those who think that Ajit's 
style of _ad hominem_ argumentation is a poor substitute for 
reason.

Give me a break Jim, "_ad hominem_ argumentation"! That was just a light
hearted comment. When Paul Davidson, on the other net, wrote that I along with
Steve Keen and Barkley Rosser go to the same Church, I didn't interpret it as
"ad hominem argumentation". It was just a light hearted remark. As far as whose
side the "reason" lies, I will not be so presumptuous, and would let the world
decide. (Probably you are the only member of your sect). 
Sincerely, ajit sinha
