    Why is this here now? I thought you made it clear years ago that you found the whole issue of the LP too provocative...or something.

    I found the issue of LP to be of substantial interest to Bayesians. It was your anti-Bayesian mania which I found provocative, I'm sure that you're a closet admirer---

    Maybe I could take this opportunity to ask Deborah how non-Bayesians are able to perform finite sample size non-linear parametric inference in non-trivial situations without using asymptotic approximations or some sort of bootstrap procedure which screws up the measures of uncertainty? For example, how would you analyses a quadratic logistic regression model?
