John, I recognize that you don't regard highly the position of Leigh, me,
and others re the reificaton of energy, but if you have a question you
might pose it more clearly than this.  If you mean that you insist on
reifying energy, just say so -- we will understand -- we won't agree, but
we will understand you.  If you mean that the issue can't be properly
addressed without reifying energy, that would be just silly.
