As I said, only in scope - Everest and Sliebh Callan are both mountains. ~~~

Yes, yes, I know Jim, We have been here before.

I refer you yet again to Hegel's belief in the critical point where quantative difference becomes qualitative difference. I'm afraid your 'only in scope' here disgusts me profoundly, and I should have though better of you than to offer any sort of 'only in scope' defence [a word I use advisedly] of the Holocaust, an enormity unique in its quantity & hence its quality of evil.

I suppose you will tell me that the cancer which killed my mother at the age of 57 differed 'only in scope' from the irritating cold in the nose she had had a couple of years before.

You disappoint me profoundly, Jim, in not being able to see this. Your 'scope' comparisons are an absolute disgrace. You should be ashamed of yourself ~~ but I don't suppose you are...
