 Yes, yes, I know, perhaps natural was the wrong word to use, it is too subjective
 a adjective to use in this context. I meant however, my own feelings on what
 I believe is natural, i admit that it is both ignorant and totally
unrealistic to suggest that ANYTHING is generically unnatural or
 natural, in different situations, to different people, everything is
 going to seem different. I apologise to the net.

I'm amused to note the sudden influx of new uts flamers. WetHat is one. 
It all started so simply. Marky Mark just wanted to see what uts.flame
did, I crossposted a followup to aus.flame and it all took off from 
there. So the rest of the net can send their complaints to me and I can
ignore them.

I teach some of these weenies. The more abusive ones, it seems. WetMat
is too polite to be one of mine.

Not according to the theorem of the Ugly Duckling.


_________________________________________________________________________

We can thus state the Theorem of the Ugly Duckling: "Insofar as we use
a finite set of predicates that are capable of distinguishing any two
objects considered, the number of predicated shared by any two such
objects is constant, independent of the choice of the two objects".
This theorem is true also if we limit the number of predicates of any 
given rank....

"Any arbitrary two objects are equally similar". Thus, a swan and a duck, 
and two swans (insofar as distinguishable) are equally similar. This theorem 
is mathematically a very simple theorem, but it has a very profound meaning
for the study of pattern recognition. If we use the concept of distance D
instead of similarity, the situatiobn is the same; the distance between
a pair of objects is the same for any choice of the pair.

Dear Editor,

I refer to the provocative and highly controvertial subject of this 
discussion which Mr Sinclair has raised. I think it is an issue of 
great urgency which has been overlooked for some time now. The risks 
involved to innocent bystanders, and pedestrians is extremely great.
Bicycle riders are also at risk, especially from slippery spots on
the road. 

The subject, of course, is "aus.driving, coming soon". Sexual activity
in motor cars should be dissociated from the activity of driving, and I
recall from earlier discussions with interested parties that it is in
fact illegal to engage in such activities when one is driving. Of course,
it is and should be quite acceptable for horse riders!     [!!!!!!!!!!!!]

				Yours sincerely,

I identified Sean's behaviour, rather than "calling him a name". 

Sean expressed an opinion which was ignorant to the extent that it was 
quite vacuous and had an obscurely expressed implication that progress 
(eg, in 'understanding' the human brain) had not occurred - therefore,
any kind of scholarly investigations into such kinds of phenomena as 
human reasoning, or recall, or 'why obscure beliefs persist in the face 
of overwhelming evidence to the contrary', etc, are vain (at best), but
in a business environment (for example), are *undesirable*. To wit, we
can't ever achieve anything, so we may as well look after number one as
much as possible - if not, more so - so, we'd be better off as slaves.

Of course, I have taken some liberties by presuming Sean's mentality, and
by predicting or inducing a general stance which his overall view might
(with due balance of probabilities) imply... ...whether he realises it 
or not.

Tomasso - I really wanted to be a journalist (but only on Thursdays).
