in response to reader comment: Typical ad homnium nonsense

Your style hasn't improved much and clarity of thought is still not in sight , so I'll refrain from arguing with you. I guess you don't even want anyone to argue with you but to accept what your say as the ultimate truth. And it is not possible to argue with owners of ultimate truths , is it ?

What I may only remark is that you should check your Latin phrases from time to time. You never know if by chance you won't come across somebody who has been fond of Latin or at least has learnt the third declension in Latin.
