oops... my bad... Sorry, Benguin.
Anyway... it is kind of a "mass knowing" kind of question for Kumar... since there is lots of confusion over gravity (force? acceleration? mass? does F=ma or F=d(mv)/dt ?... what did Newton really mean in his 2nd law of motion?, what is the relation to mass, mole and Avogadro's number?). To restate in a less confusing manner (I checked this http://www.physchem.co.za/Motion/Gravity.htm ) and found I did somewhat mistate it: Kumar: what do 99% of the people think is the acceleration due to gravity? |

We didn't even adequately resolve the question of what is '1+1' of a million people say it is three question. Which reminds me of a naff joke about mathemticians, statisticians, scientists and engineers. I'll spare you it unless you insist. It's incredibly naff, and I'm sure you've heard it. |

...and I think I know the joke... it may be similar to the tire swing joke (as ordered, as envisioned, and as delivered). (oh, great that reminds... I'm being asked when I am going back to work --- now I have to figure out how to remember everything and I will be taking some statistics course soon. Something I had to use at work, but only understood slightly as my brilliant ex-boss led me down the random vibration road, perhaps it is time I actually learned about it). |

The tire swing one is much better .. it comes with an easy to digest pictorial cartoon.
I've only just been dragged back to the office after a long medical absence. No-one seems to have noticed I've forgotten how to do my job, but then none of them knew what I did in the first place. Keep sending the cheques (or checks). |

Gentlemen, you might care to keep in mind that Kumar is most likely a troll, as he has a much better understanding of English than he lets on...

He still hasn't identified the quote I gave him (who else knows?)
And avoided saying what he thinks of it;

Zep, may be possible. I am bit uncomfortable with even twelve & wish if these could be just three representing stomach acid, bile & intestinal alkalinity by bicarbonate, Three body's basic constitutions as in "Ayurveda" Vatta, Pitta & kapha or carbo-nitrogenoid, Oxygenoid & Hydrogenoid, which probably may take care every of most of the required & possible conditions.
Btw, why pH is said as ' environment' & what does it mean & its implications? |

I noticed a while back that his apparent bad english didn't stop him understanding what was written, lapsing into complex sentences, and having the ability to nit pick through the finer points of medical/woo woo websites. Of course that he hasn't actually made any points doesn't seem to bother him, i think he just enjoys seeing us run round in circles, also thus why he doesn't answer any questions put to him. |

Maybe he is a solipsist in the true sense, and this question is therefore of little relevance to him?

Ah HA!!!
Proof he does read some of the references given... and since he only answers questions with incomprehensible babblings.... and then asks the same questions over and over again with no regard to how the real world works or with any regard to the answers already given, this is definite proof: ![]() Though I would remove the word "perhaps" |

Important question about diabetes. Actually, looking back at the first few threads Kumar started in October is quite instructive, and I see the idea that all homoeopathic remedies might really be the all-powerful Tissue Remedy silicea by an accident of preparation implicit in about his fifth post. I was later persuaded (partly by MRC_Hans) that Kumar was not a troll but was a very naive poster who genuinely wanted to learn. I spent quite some time trying to help him, as did a number of other people. I now think that perhaps the initial impressions were correct. From the start Kumar has never been open about what he thinks or believes, or what his purpose is in asking a particular question. As BillyJoe said, some people might call that trolling. Quite. Just - what on earth is there in it for anyone to behave so obtusely in post after post, never getting anywhere, just trying to be as annoying as possible? Dunno. Rolfe. (putting Kumar back on ignore now....) |

My reason for defending Kumar from troll accusations was experience from homeopathy forums. I still believe that Kumar is not a deliberate troll. ..... But since the end-effect is the same, it doesn't matter.
So my new position on Kumar, based on much experience is: Don't bother. He/she/it is a complete waste of time. Hans |

Who is "HE", Kumar? What is your usual name for "HIM"?
Rolfe. |
