Antonio, Marc has devoted years of thought, research and writing to his theory. Is
he really not supposed to be offended when someone acknowledges his years of thought
and method but tells him his efforts have not only been a complete waste of time but
also have produced ridiculous, mentally deranged solutions. Here is Gerry's statement:

Have you never spent years working on a project? Are you saying you would not take any
offense if someone evaluated your years of work in such a fashion? Marc is not manufacturing
"contrariness". It is right there, on clear display. Marc is being told his years of effort
to understand Wolfe were a waste of his time and a waste of space on this board.
 
FWIW, I have the opposite view from Gerry's, in every way. (except that we are both atheists ;- ))
