My Purgatory posts about the Universe, along with the respective discussions, should be moved to P&A, where they belong. I agree with everyone about this.
However, I am sorry to report that another (PM-) attempt of mine failed today to reach an acceptable consensus with Selden about that matter. Since he insists that "science entertainment" in P&A is more important to him than my threads, I guess that's it. I'll have to accept this, but wanted to let people know that I have tried once more, at least.
So this is presumably the end of ANY of my P&A activities ANYWHERE in the shatters.net forum. Clearly, writing extended, pedagogical posts about the Universe or other such subjects, takes time and needs plenty of motivation.
I feel that has gone by now and I am about to loose interest.
I will probably keep logging in to this Forum and also write some posts on and off. But right now I am largely desillusioned.
Bye Fridger
PS:
Please don't answer to this post. I just wanted to communicate that I have tried once more to get back to normal in P&A. I do not want to stimulate another endless discussion about this matter.
