Ric: Is everything that you don't understand funny? Even if you don't understand someone's belief system you can be polite. dp David M.

IMPOSSIBLE to be in dissagreement with this post... its just too darned funny !! Indagadadavida Amen ! RicB Ric: Surely you jest. Virgil has posited the existence of "natural" beats as theological principle, not a scientific one. He would as surely reject your representation of his perception as he has rejected all representations that do not partake of his modality of hearing. It is a totally circularly intertwined form of "secret knowledge" argument, no argument at all when you come down to it, since who can argue with "secret knowledge"? I speak from direct personal experience here, since Virgil did at one time in our conversation claim that god told him what to hear. It stopped me cold then, and stops me cold now. :-) Paul
