The recently tightened rules on time limits/questions answered, etc. should help scrape off some of the woo and reveal more of the ideas worth considering.
I think Pace is right about the original purpose of the AtM section. Actually, though, I think that the new time limit is likely to cause problems with this original purpose. That is, since an AtM proponent only gets one 30-day chance to defend their idea in the AtM subforum, after that, there's a possibility that they will go back to bringing it up regularly in other subfora. I've seen a couple posters doing that, now.
