Your "expectations" are just that, and nothing more, considering you've
cited no studies supporting your stated position.

All the cranks who post here also have unsupported expectations similar
to yours in that they cite no foundation other than personal opinion
while usually avoiding admissions that their postings have no basis
other than opinion.

Please do tell us, are you using the same sort of "logic" that you decry 
when others use it as a foundation for their postings? Because you have 
no cited basis and I am interested in knowing just how you arrived at 
this thesis. I've kept silent for several iterations of your postings 
that smack of the pot calling the kettle black but the time has come to 
call you to the mat to explain yourself.

Please check your posting, especially your final paragraph above, for
sliminess. If you give it a reasonable reading you should discover yet
another iteration of the pot calling the kettle black. I realize this is
being repetitive, but no more so than your postings of late. I usually
just let such things slide but that seems to enable the sort of nonsense
you've resorted to in replying to me. You would be well advised to
abandon any "knee jerk" replies that you may be tempted to make similar
to your recent replies to em. In fact, please don't post at all unless
you can discover some authoritative material to back up your opinion(s.)
