Thank you for your suggestions:

One was for me to just get JP on the line and hash it out with him. The other was to have as many of us as possible phone in the SAME Q-Call question.

My immediate reaction to the phone call suggestion is that I'm not sure JP would talk to me. Last time, and the first time as well, when I called to speak to him directly, the phone was given to his son, Ryan. Speaking to Ryan was like talking to someone who thought I might be working for the SEC. That is, he was, perhaps understandably so, very careful and terse in what he told me. After all, I'm not a PFS client and he claimed he didn't know who I was, as he said he didn't listen to FSN regularly.

But, even if JP and I did get to chat by phone, I'm not sure much could be accomplished. I have this fantasy that speaking with him might be a lot like trying to explain to a believer in Creationism, which JP is, that scientifically speaking, it's difficult to prove the earth and humans weren't created in six days. I mean, his views on Tyhee, to me seem as far from reason as a creationist's view of geology and evolutionary biology are to the understanding of geophysics and species evolution. His emailed and broadcasted comments on "Tyhee" seem to me to suggest we wouldn't get far in convincing eachother or our points of view. Just take Mr. Viti for example. I don't even think Webb would want to do something similar with JP, given the absurdities of a Viti like tit for tat discussion. So, you can also count me out on that sort of potentially fruitless dialogue.

Now, there's the interesting proposition of a bunch of us calling in separately with the same Q-Call. This may or may not give him a chance to dodge the question. Please let me think some more about what I'd like to ask. Already some, including Hubert, have made suggestions. But, I've not settled on what would be best, from my point of view, so please stay tuned, and I hope to offer you what I'd like to ask, if anything at all, by later today.

I look forward to hearing more of your suggestions too.

Thanks,

Baires
