Really? Them why don't you acknowledge the errors I've pointed out?
Obviously I haven't made my point.

Right. And you have yet to prove me wrong. Quotes? Anything?

Because, frankly, I'd like to see you acknowledge your mistakes, which you
seem loathe to do.

Uh.. There is no "moderator". This is an open discussion group, where
everyone's free to say what they want.
How long have you been on Usenet, anyway?
Oh, and yes, I do get rude when I point things out and the person I'm
replying to ignores them.

Yes, but theories and predictions need facts to back them up. You have yet
to point out any facts from the book to support your theory. ANY. At all.

Frankly, I don't think you're going to get a lot of positive replies. Your
errors, your refusal to use canon to try to back up your theory, and your
dismissal of anyone who disagrees with you all add up to very bad debating
techniques.
