Nobody, except you, considers the Renaissance to be the end of the dark
ages. Please stop cross-posting this inane (and inaccurate) crap to
neworleans.general. Nobody here cares.

No, don't bother to respond, I've just kill-filed you along with the
other cross-posting spammers.


Looks like I shoved the middle ages into the catagory. A reference I
looked at said the dark ages were roughly from 400 to 800 AD. The brain
is rotting. The MIDDLE ages ended around 1500.
