You are an idiot, Wade. And I mean that personally. Yes, in behavioral
sciences the "inconsequential" does matter. It is a pattern and we should
be looking for patterns.

Does the actions of one puny photon matter? What could be more
inconsequential!

You amaze me with your idiocy, Wade! Ever read _The Selfish Gene_? What
does Dawkins site as memes? Fasions and Fads.

You must be goading me here. Either that or you incured sever brain trama
in the last few days. If the latter is true, my apologies.

Get well soon.
