Ken, that just isn’t going to happen on a newsgroup. All you are ever going
to get on Usenet are short, undetailed responses. Explanations do not come
here. They never have. Books are the only option.

They ARE! Catch up.

No, YOU don’t know the meaning of a theory. Remember, you’ve read NOTHING.
Remember, you don’t even know how the scientific method works.
