Thank you very much for the kind words. I 've only been able to keep up
by responding to things directed right at me. I've had to turn away from
some other posts dangled before me even though I was tempted to pounce
on them.
I first read Ayn Rand in 1985 or about 12 years ago. She was already
dead and buried when a friend of mine who kept on saying read "The
Fountainhead" if you want to understand my views better got me to read
her works. 12 years. Quite a bit of an infatuation don't you think. It's
said a fanatic is "someone who you can't change thier mind and you can't
change the subject". I'm not a fanatic. You can change the subject with
me.

Who knows, I may even return the favor.

No argument there. Kind of hard to find a practical use for a neutrino.
