Surely that last sentence should by my argument, in light of your
misinformed tirade - and attempted mis-representation - of what it was that
I actually said?

Had you bothered to ask for elaboration on what is being done to find a
solution to a very complex problem, then you might, by now, have been a
wiser man.  Since, however, you prefer to rant, rave and distort what I (and
Bjorn) have said - and have conveniently chosen to ignore the questions that
I asked of you - there's little point in continuing.  They say that
ignorance is bliss!  You must be one of the most blissful people that I
know!
