To all concerned:  let's drop this endless wrangling over what and when
and how the church dealt with heliocentrism and the nature of its
disapproval.

FWIW, I have stuck for this because I generally have very high regard
for Ron and the *scientific* stuff he reports and it bugged me to see
him ignoring respected scientists and historians buying into a claim
from a guy trying to make a case for geocentrism. Brick walls tend to
be sore on heads, however, so I'm out of it now.

True. But I find "Read Next, Pgdn" routine takes longer with all the
quoted stuff.
 

I stopped removing the material from a post to shorten it because of Nyikos manipulating posts without attribution.  You needed the intact previous post open in another window just to figure out what Nyikos had done to the post.  Harran does the same snip and run routine, and what is left in the posts are not enough to figure out what he is making claims about, and reposting the material has been needed multiple times in this thread.
I started reading TO back in 1993, and shortening the posts was a major issue when some posters only had 300 baud modems, but that hasn't been anything to worry about for decades.  I would still shorten the posts until Nyikos came back in 2010, and you needed all the parts of the post in order to determine what Nyikos was manipulating.  So I just got out of the habit.
