A real pity is that casual readers who want to learn about the topics of the threads may not only be frustrated, but thoroughly misled.

Sorry, either I just don't get that, Grishka or else you don't understand that to learn about science and religious philosophy you don't come to a forum on folk music. What is more, if you want to learn anything at all I would highly recommend that you stay away from forums altogether as you have not the slightest idea whether those 'teaching' you are qualified to do so or not. A 'casual reader' is as likely to stumble across this thread as Conc is likely to win the Nobel prize for anything.

You are reading far too much into this non-debate than is good for you and are coming to some quite remarkable conclusions yourself. At least you have gained fans in Ake and Conc. If that is any consolation at all.

BTW - You never did let us know what the Russian connection was.
