"It wasn't a flame at all--I am used to being largely ignored on these threads, and so I was too surprised at being responded to, to notice at first that you were agreeing with me."

Well, then, if it was not your intention to flame, I apologize.

"My point about "angels on the head of a pin" and "control groups" were the same things you are saying--science isn't able to study the supernatural directly. But I do suffer from the tendency of understating my case."

I don't think understatement was the problem with that note. The phrasing lent itself to the interpretation, "You were too dump to pick up on my subtlety."

No, I didn't think you were too dumb, I thought I was too subtle. When I poked my head out of my *ss to see what was going on, I nearly took an incoming round.

Friendly fire is something to be avoided on these threads :-)

Cheers!
