Yeah, I don't know if anything I said is true either.* I also
   agree with you about determinism; and a very good point about
   "The Secret"; hadn't considered it from that perspective, and
   that adds even more substance to "why a belief in determinism
   might not be the best thing".* Of course CAN there be"substance"
   to a why?* Substance is for hard objects, not whys... but it's
   the best metaphor I can think of for saying, "it's nice to know
   we're thinking similarly about these things and that you helped
   me think of something I hadn't thought of".
