    Spoodles...

    ...if you're still following this:

    Thank you! I must have been impaired when I posted my initial impressions. You said what I feel, think, whatever, assuming I even exist. Maybe I don't. That's about the most benign thing I can draw from the "How dare you believe something you can't show me?" crowd. Yet I feel, I think, I even, on occasion, bleed. Kinda like Shylock. So I believe I exist, and I don't think I did it myself, nor do I think science created me, although science certainly does a good job of explaining how I happened. So I'm happy about science. As a medic I damn well ought to be. They don't get that.

    I think maybe you do.

    At any rate, you're really smart and I'm presently in awe. Great job. Sorry to be so late in saying this, but, well, life just keeps getting in my way. Life or whatever that is that keeps making things move and talk and stuff. OK, maybe science got in the way. At any rate you done good. You done real good.
