I must say Brian, that you are consistant, both in your opinions and your persistant use of the word "rubbish". I am also interested to note that, on the evidence of the above quote, you no longer read opinions contrary to your own, even when they are written by somone capable of writing "by far the most readable and understandable descriptions of how the brain operates (In the areas relevant to PD) that I have read". Perhaps this explains that consistancy. In a previous posting on this subject you acknowledged that 'the jury was still out", yet here you go again, deriding any opinion not in agreement with your own. Once more I would ask you to stop trivialising this debate with the persistant use of the word "rubbish". I would also ask, in support of David Langridge, and again not for the first time, that you substantiate your theories with something more than your own experience. Bernard Shaw wrote in one of his plays, something on the lines of : "Forgive him; he is a barbarian who believes that the customs of his small island are the Laws of the Universe". It is a trap we all fall into at times, perhaps you would consider climbing out of it.
