You've backflipped 3 times and so has Peter with his "we'll consider a test if you yadayada" then he refuses to discuss any protocol and dismisses it with some general denial he's heard off you.

Sylvia Sylvia, if you want to test my power you must assume the hypothesis that 1 billion religious people are right momentarily and like Mulder said to Scully GO WITH IT SYLVIA! www.MindReading.com 1 Q per day - put (Cosmology) next to your name so God doesn't use the bible instead, and page numbers are 1..333, line 1..33. Herc Before posting this I checked if it was all good with a channel. <<members of the selection committee of Epik for choosing me to receive this very special award of recognition.>> Seems to be a comment on the subjective judge test. ITS SOOOOO EASY TO TEST IF YOU USE BRAINS! Herc
