Lewis: Your inquiries were responded to clearly in many different ways.

 

Gary: Lewis, you say my inquiries " were responded to " . Who was it who

responded to my inquiries " in many different ways " ?

 

Lewis: Cannot accept those responses, Gary?

 

Gary: I accept whatever you say, Lewis. I'm just trying to get a

handle on what your responses mean. It's still not clear to me at

all, in spite of your contention that my " inquiries were responded to

clearly in many different ways. " Like Phil Spector's " wall of sound, "

you seem to employ your " wall of words " which only serves to obscure

your position, rather than explicate it.

 

 

Lewis: There are no other responses.

 

Gary: How about giving it one more shot? Why are you here (on this

list)? Do you have a purpose or are you here merely for the

entertainment value? That to me is a very straighforward question,

and I find it more than a little puzzling why you don't seem to either

be able to, or want to, answer in as straightforward a manner, using

simple declarative sentences.

 

 

Lewis: Perhaps you can imagine, or ask the Unborn to answer your

question, or ask

others, take a poll, raise another specter, speculate...........

 

Gary: Haha! I have a date with the Unborn next weekend, so maybe I

will ask him about you, but in the meantime, is there a reason why you

continue to dodge my direct questions?

*Lewis: You can start at post 24750 and follow the thread you created.

Nothing is obscured.

 

Lewis: There are no other responses.

*Lewis: That question was answered in detail. Again, you can start at

post 24750 and follow the thread you created. If you are puzzled it is

because your memory is failing. It does happen in older men.

 

Lewis: Perhaps you can imagine, or ask the Unborn to answer your

question, or ask others, take a poll, raise another specter,

speculate...........

 

Gary: Haha! I have a date with the Unborn next weekend, so maybe I

will ask him about you, but in the meantime, is there a reason why you

continue to dodge my direct questions?

 

*Lewis: Raising and manipulating phantoms is an art Gary. You do that

easily with your many comedic alter egos. The

interviewer/interrogator is not your forte. Perhaps you should stick

to unborn comedy, my lovely Gary. :-)

 

Again, you can start at post 24750 and read slowly and carefully

through the thread listed, digest with a cup of tea or your favorite

beverage. To commit to memory, cogitate slowly as you chew the words.

:-) Enjoy again, if that is possible.
