Betty, let me gloss over the rest of your lengthy and (as always) never inconsiderable post and say; you're out by 100 years here.
Back to shred the rest of it later. :-)
You are most welcome to try, my friend. :^)
I'm going to bed now. In perplexity because I haven't figured out what part of my argument you have already shredded. Your reply didn't say.
You suggested that, whatever pretext we're supposedly discussing and reasoning about together, I was "out of it by 100 years."
Please tell me: What IT am I out of?
Good night!
