|| Mr. Smith
First, I apologize because I still
don't know how to set my news
editor to that it'll not "send" jagged
copies of other folks' posts.
Dr.(?) Longley knows, as does any-
one else who has a copy of AoK,
that all of the Giants are Referenced
in it and the Refs that are Cited in-
it.
So there isn't any way I can respond
to stuff like Dr.(?) Longley posted,
without pointing-out that whatever it
is is baseless.
I added, in-line in another post of mine,
that I discuss only the work I have done,
always being Scrupulous with respect
to Priority, both on behalf of others, and
on my own behalf.
As far as your comments on my partici-
pation here in b.n, they are also unfounded
in Truth.
Yeah, when I'm online, I do work pretty
hard, and that means I post a lot of stuff,
but I've routinely done so for =relatively=
short periods, then I go offline for 'months'
or 'years'.
And, as far as a "present[ing my] theory in
a coherent outline/report" is concerned, I
=did= that. That's what AoK is. I've sent
it to anyone who's asked for it, and given
permission to anyone who receives it to
give copies to anyone else who wants it.
In monetary terms, that's a Gift of more
than $700,000.
I've asked to be allowed to do more, but
discussing NDT here in 'b.n' is still the only
option that's open to me.
[And there's a =lot= more going-on than
most folks are aware of, but with which
I, nevertheless, have to deal.]
My personal resources are very-small. If
nothing alters, my Life will end prematurely.
If it seems "strange" that I don't "force"
NDT's stuff upon folks by seeking "al-
legiances" with folks in Government, Bus-
iness, Journalism, or whatever, that's just
because you do not, yet, understand what's
in NDT.
NDT =Completely= exposes all that's in
Free Will.
Seeing what's in Free Will, I will not Trans-
gress Free Will for =anything=.
So I have to Honor folks Choices, while
I work to point out to folks Consequences
that are inherent in folks' exercise of their
Free Wills.
Which is Sorrowfully-'funny' -- I've still
only gotten through maybe 5% of what's
been in AoK all along, so I've got to do
what I can in "mime" that "teaches" the
basics of NDT's stuff.
You know -- what you call "gibberish" :-]
I'm =trying= to do what needs to be done,
Mr. Smith, but Human Beigs each possess
their own nervous system, which Connects
them to "The Universe", and what they do
with them, and their Connectedness, derives
in what happens, uniquely, within them. And
although, yes, I do speak to such, I'll not
Transgress such for =anything=.
So I have to =ask=.
Then, I have to Honor folks' Free Wills.
One can know one is getting NDT's stuff
to the degree that what's here makes-Sense.
Meanwhile, I Weep for those from whom
NDT's stuff has been withheld -- including
those who've withheld it from themselves.
