To Daniel on the Poison

Daniel,

Thanks again. 

The points you make below are irrelevant to the discussion.

I showed the ETS'  goals and practice are utterly different and directly opposed to yours.

The real point is that you are metaphorically circulating false dollars and poison among people. Aren't you?

The Coulombs at least got their bribe. 


Best regards, Carlos.
