8. Please let me know what further assistance I might be to
you all. I
hope I have been able to help you to see a little bit
better than you
could do on your own in your benighted troglodyte's eyries.


Who do you think you are? God? The Special One? LOL :-)


Whoever he thinks he is, that's a wonderfully mixed ornithological
metaphor!


Troglodytes are people who live in holes, hence the scientific name of
the wren, which makes a spherical nest often in a nook or cranny, is
Troglodytes troglodytes. An eyrie is the name given to a nest of, e.g.,
an eagle, placed high up, e.g., in a tree or on a cliff ledge.


You mean you really can't see it?
Well there's a surprise!


All I can see is someone rather muddled in their thinking - or at least
in their writing about their thinking. Care to have another go at
explaining what you were trying to say when you kept mentioning "lunar
phases"?


Care to make with the shekels?


Care to make with an explanation of what you were trying to say when you
kept mentioning "lunar phases", or do we conclude that you can't, either
because you don't know or because you now realise you weren't expressing
yourself very well?


Out of the above plethora I seem to have mislaid your quote of my
saying anything of that sort. I might even waive my fee.


You can wa(i)ve what you like, but here are my original questions and
comments about your statements/claims:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

WL:9. Another synergy occurs when tow or more similar lunar phases run
together.


MAO:
Eh?

We've only one moon which has four phases which follow each other in an
ordered fashion. How can two of them "run together"?

WL:



11. On several occasions a run of lunar phases at similar times have
been followed by one or two different ones in a sequence that
repeated.


MAO:
I'm beginning to think that you are using the phrase "lunar phase" to
mean something other than full, last quarter, new, first quarter. If you
are, perhaps you could enlighten us.

WL:

This occurred a few times this year and may well have
occurred frequently in recent years but I was unaware of the anomaly.


MAO:
Our moon's phases, using the commonly understood meaning of the word, do
not have "anomalies".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have yet to answer any of my questions above or respond to the
points I've made about "lunar phases". Perhaps you would be so kind as
to do so and not indulge, as you did last time, in childish abuse and
name-calling.


And here is my answer to you:
