Say what?  When the heck did I talk about theoretical constructs *or* Hume,
or anything even close?  The only things I've discussed during recent
exchanges have been (1) alternative transcendental arguments for realism (or
ontology), which is decidedly within the purview of CR, not Hume, and (2)
briefly, the misunderstand of the word "transitive."  If you have an
argument against either of those points, make it.  Otherwise, bug out.

As for babbling, I'd say my messages have been pretty terse, whereas you
have a lot to answer for, with your ceaseless talk about Algol etc.  I'd 
call those arguments Taylorist.
