Hello Daniel

You write, "Unfortunately for Anand's case, he doesn't even have 
many facts at his fingertips.  He simply gives mere assertions usually unsupported with any evidence or coherent reasoning."

Agreed, however the most disturbing aspect to this is that Anand 
is himself completely unaware of his own contradictions and incoherence. 

My greatest concern is that a newby might venture onto t/talk, 
assume Anand is educated, and accept his assertions.

Thank you for your efforts in counteracting some of his more 
bizarre delusions.

Kind regards
Nigel
