You have been warned!
I'll do it later though; the aftereffects of whatever bug I picked up still linger.

PS - if your doubts manifested that lecture let your belief let it slide off your back and feel some sadness that that particular person has missed out on all the fun.

The poster in question isn't LoA hostile, he merely tries to apply a scientist's rigor to his conception of it (a conception I admit I'm not yet clear enough on). I think I actually gravitate to him because he represents potential ammo against my 'inner skeptic', a stickler for airtight arguments. Ah, tradeoffs... In that vein, my bench-spring incident actually angers me a bit, in that it caught me off-guard and prevented any attempt at careful documentation/examination. Then again, it may well be true that the "magic" is incompatible with, and fades in the face of, such treatment, rendering it forever unprovable
OK, I'll end this post on a 'blessing' - I never cease to wonder at how my writing skill has improved; would you deduce from it that I have little formal education past HS? For that matter, I've seem plenty of "professional" writing worse than this, as far as form goes. I have to assign at least some of this to my 80s-90s Tolkien fixation; if my English grammar was ailing badly, what better treatment than a dose of "Professor of English Language and Literature"?
