Dear subscribers,
after spending an entire Sunday for writing my latest
message, I feel it difficult not to react with dismay to some of Craig

He just repeated the same mistakes against which I wrote.
Are there any other subscribers who want to defend Newton?
I quit. I feel I have already done more than I should.
