Ah, you're kidding, right?
I mean, what stuff did you take to cause you to beleive that?
Besides, it's CLEARly obvious that the Universe is actually
a large cheese omlette, and the stars are just pepper stuck
in the cheese.

Just for the record, From Webster's Desk Dictionary of the
English Language:
ad hominem - appealing to a prejudice rather than to reason.
So, if someone makes a statement that is clearly (for most of
us) patently foolish, to call it crazy would not be an ad
hominem attack. However, in the course of a rational debate,
if I suddenly decided to call you a "physics moron" or a
"science nazi" THAT would be ad hominem.
Here's another: you can't have a rational discourse with
ol' Pluto because he is an idiot without reason.
Hmm. Maybe that wasn't.
Anyway.....
The sooner EVERYbody realizes that the happier we'll all be.
Just treat him like your doddering old uncle, or your wierd
cousin Mel. He can't be argued or reasoned with. He hasn't
enough science to understand what you're saying to him. Hell,
he doesn't understand the Internet well enough to realize that
whatever he posts here gets lost in the ether after a week
or two, depending on your site.
Personally, I get a big kick out of him. I'm kind of a fan,
in a strange sort of way. I don't think I've met a more
entertaining lunatic in my life.

No need to apologise to *me*, Dick. I had a grand time.

I guess you starting making too much sense, and it scared

Don't worry, Pluto, you can always burn some more inscense

Who is the boss of Decobert? Seems as though Decobert posts are
dearth of any useful information. No physics. No math. Just attacks on
my personal character. I did not know MIT pays people, and pays them
well to go on Internet to attack me. How may employees of Bates Linear
Accelerator? Is Mr Bates in charge there at MIT? If not who is the boss
of this poster who posts nothing but ad hominem?

Is this the level of integrity, intelligence, and maturity which one
could expect to see exhibited at MIT? I've never had much respect for
the school, but what little I had is fading fast.

Hmm, if you go to the regular library to use their computers,
when it becomes an electronic library will you demand to use their
pencils?
Will you post endless rants about how uncomfortable the virtual chairs
in the cyberlibrary are?

Yeah, some of the things on the Dartmouth campus are really WACKO.
You know, CRAZY. INSANE, even.

NOTE TO ARCHITECTS: Perfectly normal people carry aluminum suitcases

landing the Moon in the Pacific Ocean.

"Damn!" said the dean, "He figured out how to get out of the glass
box!"
Dartmouth's plans for the Archimedes Plutonium School Of Mime Made
Really
Easy were scrapped.

I see. So the motif of this building would be some metal in
particular?

Hey! Stop making Cold Pricklies out of Styrofoam cubes and toothpicks!
Making Cold Fuzzies is bad! Go make some Warm Fuzzies out of fun fur.

As opposed to those churches with wide steeples four inches tall.

What, you're planning to move the Moon and land it in the Pacific ocean
and you can't even move a wimpy little building yourself? IT'S ON A
HILL!

Please let us know when you succeed in covering your entire body
with beautiful gold leaf, especially the base of the spine.

But that would make three pointy tops whenever you're in the building.

Yes I know what a tick Archie can be on the body-politic; but when
I read this note - of which the above observation and your witty
riposte is a
fair sample, I realise there is more than one slightly deranged person
lurking
the halls of akademe and newsgroups...
You should probably get out of the house more, and leave Archie alone
when
he breaks into the occasional lucid spell, don't you think?...
Whatcott Altus

almost merged at one time.
They called it off for philosophical reasons ...
At Harvard, they teach you
to wash your hands carefully
after you use the urinals.
At MIT they teach you
not to get your hands wet
in the first place.
