I didn't see much emotion in the postings.  I'm sorry if you got
hate mail.  I didn't see what would occassion that in your
posting.  I was a bit puzzled that you only seemed to want to
argue about things like the concept of infinity and seemed to
refuse to argue about whether humans were machines or not,
a far more interesting question.  Is this because of some religious
committment that you would rather not have exposed to argumentation
and possible ridicule on the net?
