- I think the difference between that information and what you have
- told us so far is in fact that it would be relevant. You could actually use
- it to solve equations. The information you have thus far given us could serve
- no such purpose.

- More irrelevant information, I mean really, If the world were ending,
- what could I do about it?

- K e n, you have yet to explain exactly what it is you are trying to
- inform us of. The only thing you have really informed us of is that you are
- here to inform us. Sounds rather circular to me.
