I am unable to accede to Jay Hanson's request that I not comment on
his posts.  When I read a post that I consider mistaken, I respond to
it for what I imagine to be the benefit of the audience.  Sometimes it
benefits the poster, but I am ready to give up on Jay Hanson changing
his mind on anything.

There is one way Hanson can reduce the number of replies I make to his
posts.  When he posts a document he has posted before, he should note
that fact and note who replied to a previous posting.  I would then
often skip the opportunity to reply to the same document again.
