In deference to your concerns, I withdraw my remarks.
Take comfort in the knowledge that there is no
"campaign". My views on this subject are confined to
this list.

Further discussion might resolve some of the
disagreement between us, as well as clarify some areas
where you may have misinterpreted my meaning, but I
don't think it worthwhile. For (1), my views are
'from the sidelines' and have no impact on the
discussed larger events, and (2) I'm confident that
things will work out in our favor, ie technological
progress is unstoppable, so the matter is largely
academic.

Next topic.

Best, Jeff Davis
