Thanks so much for this Alex... It was all I could do not to jump in
and mention the "contrast" of this from Larry's previous statements!

Even more bewildering stance switching (from another post) from Larry
below, just for laughs! 8-) Ya know Larry... I find this kind of stuff
fine by me, but wonder why previous stuff like this seemed so
offensive to you and incited such strong assertions that it smacked of
psuedo-scientific balderdash!?

of communication that relates everything to everything else".
