Laughing!  Well, my Usenet server seems to be working
a bit better, I'll give re-joining the thread a try.

He can't.  Ho hum.

Just what is Ebeling's "point"?  Is it dogma at work?  First, on 
97/Feb/15 Re: Bashford says: Ozone confuses me, Greig Ebeling said:
 "That is my point.  Ozone depletion does not result in unusually 
  high levels of UV."
That was his "point"!  Again, he was proved wrong.  So slippery 
Greig now smoothly slides in with a differnt "point":
  "Jay, you are missing the point.  That ozone depletion results
   in increased UV is irrelevant."    [Read that again.] 
If the past is any indicator, in a few days he will be back again
pushing "point" one.  Is calling slippery Greig Ebeling's argument,
"confused";  just being polite?  

-    We are seeking to increase individuals' wealth and freedom
-   rather than stimulating the economy.  We look to abundance
-    and wholeness instead of so-called; "economic growth".
-   Growthmania consumes what it promises.  Ecology delivers.
