In other words, don't confuse poor Janet with the facts. Let's not look at real
rocks or loess and instead pretend that it's all very mysterious and requires the
intervention of the fourth dimension. That's much more interesting.
I'll ask a third time... Janet, do you or Joseph have any relationship to Peterson
or the publisher of his book? What prompted you to suddenly sign up for this list
and immediately start posting a defense of the book? Where did you even get a copy
of this book? It's rather obscure and I've had people asking me where to get it since
they've never heard of it (it's not something you can pick up in Barnes & Noble).
How did you hear about it?
