I'm afraid those aren't my initials. I'm in California, just been enjoying the hell reading through your posts that you nicely collected into an index recently I stumbled upon.

Your arguments are intriguing. I was tempted to fire off half thought through replies to what initially struck me as gaping holes in logic, but am glad I did not. The more I read, the more I realize that I need to put more effort into understanding what you're really trying to say before I can begin to evaluate it.

Almost a "see it as the painter intended" moment. Anyhow, thank you for your writings, for although I don't know yet if I agree with anything you said, it's certainly exposed me to new perspectives I hadn't considered.

edit - and yes, I do promise to read the books listening to your recommendation.
