Pat:
whilst I have every sympathy with your comment, I think this would set a
bad precedent for the list and wouldn't actually solve anything. Quis
custodiet ipsos custodes? (01)

Folks, (03)
Allow me to suggest that we refrain from responding to such obviously
nonsensical and vacuous expressions of institutionalized ignorance as
the recent postings on this thread. My response, after some cursory
checking to verify that the claims are indeed as nonsensical as they
sound (in this case, for example, the fact that the world of Thomas,
Ballard and KFI is entirely self-referring and self-contained, with
no connection to any scholarly or published work for the last 20
years; and that if its claims were even partly correct, it would by
now have put Oracle out of business) is to simply create an email
filter to auto-trash such stuff. Arguing with these people is like
arguing with creationists about evolution. (04)
Let me propose that we adopt the term "ontospam" for this kind of
input, in order that we can all save one anothers' time by using it
to categorize such inputs quickly and precisely. It is pretty easy to
recognize, see for example
