My apologies. As I said, I have not been following this entire long, sometimes circular, thread. I'm sorry I mistook your position, though I'm still somewhat unclear on what it is (see below).

I hope I have not jumped on any bandwagons, nor distorted any evidence. If I have done so, I certainly hope that someone points it out to me!
