Ok @geoffkait we just could not possibly disagree more and let’s leave it at that. No way is this forum the place to try and sort this argument out. I should not have tried to offer a differing view on this off topic tangent.   My bad. Back to aff...

Actually we do have examples of faith based notions that are presented to us as science. The “science”of the earth’s age, earth’s formation and creation, Big Bang etc... all have major gaps that require “faith”.

I make cables with Duelund wire. If you are into DIY you can also. Sold $2000 Cables for these and these sound better. The Duelund stranded copper wire in oil impregnated cotton is wonderful and as good as the big dollar cables I have owned. Bette...

Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
We all pay the 3-4%. This is a cost of doing business and is simply added to the price by most retailers.  Don’t ask for the paypal fee, just add the fee to your price if you’re already losing more than you want in this market and paying high sell...
