Hmm. I am not exactly sure what is happening here. However, we seem to have gotten side-tracked.
The thread was initiated by \"Future Coyote\" who claimed to be a researcher from the future. Why not give him the benefit of the doubt? What is the purpose of this forum?
What I like about academics (even present day ones) is that they have a lot of patience and a touch of class. They are objective and fair, and have a universal perspective. I can only assume that future academics have evolved even more.
Okay \"Future Coyote\". The ball is in your court. Care to continue where you left off?
We really want to learn and have a fascinating dialogue.

Gadfly,
And this was your third post in this community. Third post. You showed up with Coyote and Admiral Nelson and for the record I consider you to be one of the authors.
I am one of those present-day academics you mentioned
don't show up to the dock here and tell a seasoned group of Admins, Mods, and Members to give a new visitor the \"benefit of the doubt\"--we are all about this benefit; we are actually soaking in the benefit of the doubt. Thanks.
Also, you want to have a fascinating dialogue? Don't be so obvious next time.
And as a student of Plato, your moniker offends me.

Call me naive, but I 'm still hoping that Future Coyote is a real time traveller.

I'm enjoying this thread, but I got a little confused, so I'm going to see if I have the story right:
Future Coyote posted claiming to be a time traveller from 2242.
Perry Nelson then posted welcoming Coyote.
Now Perry and others seem to believe that Coyote is not who he claimed to be, so the general consensus is that Perry is the real time traveller and Coyote was a fake who was pretending to be one of \"Them.\"
Perry, what led you to believe that Coyote was not who he said he was? And do you know why Coyote included Paul in his story?
