Maybe YOU shouldn't be calling others "stupid". You always did prefer to appeal to authority instead of making an actual point. At least evil_twin said some things about Edgar's actual career.Am I "appealing to authority"? I've argued in detail about EM's HOF creds in other threads. Why repeat myself?

Why repeat myself?I don't think I've ever seen you cite any actual numbers or facts. But sure, let's pretend you did. I really don't want to discuss this with you anyway, I prefer having such discussions with people who have compelling things to say.
