Sorry, Bill, in the meantime I realize that my implication was condescending, being that I was thinking in terms of "Within 10 years, given your current experience of "flying", you will have realized the larger truth of what I/we are saying."

And that is simply not true or even desirable for many people. Personally I believe that we will ALL eventually come to such an understanding- but I don't KNOW that. What I DO know is that there are many decent, bright, articulate, fun, whole and yes, wise, people out there who do not and will not believe in the concepts I am propounding. And you personally are very much in that category.

BTW, I love the beautiful wooden bowl I bought from you last October.
