   No, that is not the point. He has been told by people who know about the   
   Finno Soviet trade that what he says about it is baloney. Skim the thread   
   from the start and you will see the light.

   What more evidence you need apart from what he has crossposted to these   
   groups. He illuminates insanity. Should be apparent to anyone following this   
   thread.

   Any decent mind knows that the behaviour of the GIGO machine is universally   
   the same: garbage in-> garbage out. If someone said he is Jesus the   
   Nasareth, should we stress out that he actually isn't?

   In a trivial case one doesn't have to be. That was my point in the first

   The substance is the Finno Soviet trade....... You kind of forgot this.

   Unfavourable and horse manure are two different things. Finns profited a lot
