I am offended by your implication that Torek and I have been abusing
this news group.  I know, for example, that my side of that dialogue
consisted of three postings spread over a month.  Furthermore, what
we wrote was not "private".  This is clear from the discussion it
initiated among half a dozen people.

Your suggestion that Torek and I arrive at a consensus privately is
strange.  I also fail to understand why, if you are addressing both
Torek and me, you quote a note from Torek to who-knows-who.

Perhaps this recent quantum philosophy discussion is winding down, or
perhaps it is just getting started, but in any case it doesn't look
to me like it is swamping net.physics with junk mail.  If you meant to
say that it was, I wish you had said it more plainly.
