To whom it may concern: Please don't post to my email account -- except in unusual circumstances. I leave it to Whom to decide when it's appropriate. I can read sci.math and all of the usual suspects. It's posting that I'm having a little bit of technical difficulty with -- and I hope that that is over. I do appreciate the thought behind trying to cope with my difficulties but, really, it's not needed. Thanks.

As well as being more polite, it has the advantage of being true. I suspect that the being true part would be more important to a cosmologist. You snipped my examples of the actual _working on it_ . -- Olber's paradox. -- A much more recent estimate of the size of the _whole_ universe, including the larger portion outside our _observable_ universe. Do you disagree about that these are arguments about the size of the universe? Do you disagree that they use infinity in some way or other? I don't see why you didn't address my examples -- unless it's that you just aren't able to. Snipping them without any mention certainly leaves the impression that you are helpless in the face of my awesome argumentation. Perhaps you should re-consider this tactic. It's hard to imagine how you could come off worse, no matter how bad a showing you make in actually addressing my point.
