        It is my observation - Jody - 12/30/2007 4:12:20 PM
        
        Your observations would be flawed. - Lee - 12/30/2007 10:15:46 PM

    - Ah, but I do doubt... - SDAI-Tech1 - 12/26/2007 7:11:19 PM
    - "Doubt is the key to knowledge." You sure about that? - TB - 12/24/2007 4:17:08 PM
      - Sounds like a misquote... - alcaray - 12/27/2007 1:49:20 AM
      - It makes sense: if you're certain (meaning, you think you have the solution) you don't feel the need to seek further (n/t) - Raoul - 12/25/2007 8:51:01 AM
        
        So, you are sure about that? - gbaikie - 12/26/2007 8:41:02 PM
        
        I'm sure we are insignificant and that's an opinion (n/t) - Raoul - 12/26/2007 9:46:31 PM
        
        However, the concept "insignificant" requires humans. - TB - 12/27/2007 9:30:51 PM
        
        Indeed! That's always our point of view (n/t) - Raoul - 12/28/2007 6:34:19 AM
        
        Really? - gbaikie - 12/26/2007 10:03:30 PM
