  IAN: So that's your definition of "crackpot."
  Well, you just fulfilled it. Now how about
  putting some substance where you "mouth" is.

  You allege without evidence that there exists
  somewhere a shortfall between "arguments pre-
  sented" (although you have not indicated which
  ones these are) and "actual substance and con-
  tent." So where, pray tell, is the "actual
  substance and content" of your argument?
