What I get out of it is that since I don’t believe that piston dwell actually exists, unless something–say, the wrist pin–is really worn out, I shouldn’t believe Satanic cults exist, either. Though I may have misinterpreted something. ---

> [@lastoftheindependents](#): > > let me explain what goes on inside these close doors People would be more interested in reading what you write if you were capable of typing (and thus, communicating) clearly and distinctly.

I do not have a problem with zombie threads, generally, but when an old thread begins to be a magnet for incoherent nonsense posts, it is time to close it down. So closed. [/Moderating] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-do-satanic-cults-exist/313438.md?page=11)
