You forgot to mention his rampant tirades against Postmodernism (I believe 
there have been two or three so far!), which when in the context of Science 
(and the History of Science) I completely agree with; but that's not to say 
that Postmodernism (Poststructuralism, Post-phenomenolgy, et al.) is entirely 
without merit. Clearly he makes up for his devotion to "modernist" 
electronics with his reactionary Kantian Idealism in Philosophy -- on the 
other hand, he has been very helpful to me in the past! Thanks Paul!
