Well, of course not. Phil and Jim have challenged your unsubstantiated
cliams with facts and arguments. You have responded by repeating the same
unsubstantiated claims like a mantra and are now sitting there wondering
why everyone else hasn't been mesmerised by the doctrinaire position you
keep repeating.

Sure they have. They simply haven't relied upon mass media and Usenet
newsgroups to be their measure of achievement.

>neither of you are qualified to comment.

I'd submit that you aren't qualified to make the claims that they comment
upon. Interestingly, no one else does either.

So has Manson, Madonna, and Camile Paglia - meaningless.

>- when was the last time your were on CNN? january 8, 1997 for me.

Seeing as you were talking about CRap6, this too is meaningless.

>- how old were you when you made you first million? i was 17.

Again, since we are talking about the plausibility of your claims, this is
meaningless as well.

>- when was the last time you were asked to be keynote speaker at a
>convocation? february 28th, 1997 for me.

I could make a snotty remark here, but I won't. Bruce Cockburn was the
keynote at my wife's convocation, but that doesn't qualify him to make
comments on, say, quantum chemistry - or *anything* for that matter.

>- do you drive a jaguar? i do.

Again, utterly irrelevant.

>remember that. i do, you (and phil) spew.

Your stream of red herrings, improper appeals to popularity and authority,
and straw persons are impressive, but simply fallacious.

Your problem remains the same as it has always been: you are
undereducated, mentally tortured, and so depressingly egomaniacally
self-absorbed that you cannnot see that whatever rationality you might
have had has left you.

Your responses are irrelevant. The 'theory' underyling your magnum opus AI
project is as thin as gossamer. And your infantile bawling regarding your
'accomplishments' are downright laughable.

If this is, in fact, your last squeal here regarding MIST, it is quite
approprate that it have nothing to do with the charges against you - since
MIST has nothing to do with AI.

My fault. I was supoed to change it back. Maybe were the same guy, right
Chris??

He said "yeah, what ever you say ans. just make sure when you quote me
from now on, you don't use caps. i don't like caps. too arogant."

Too arogant! I stopped believeing it was possible when I met you.

Chris said "make sure you delete my signature, change the identity back
to me, and get your own damn account."

To which I say: okay, okay, pay me money and I will.
