Does it embarass you that you completely missed the ironic nature of my post? Perhaps you did 'get it'. Perhaps you might have said: "Good point!" if one of your relationalist cronies had made the same point. Perhaps you're a particularly bitter man. How tall are you Bob - if you don't mind me asking? It seems you spend quite a lot of your time fairly close to ground level and a lot of things (humour and such) appears to go right over your head.
