I like the way Jerry reasons and his apparent motivation.

I really, really enjoy this forum. Big thank you. Please keep it going!

I understand the need to remove the chaff that is rehashed and I don't think this includes Jerry's post that I have read but I've only been a member for a short while and stick mainly to the astronomy, universe today and questions page. I'm not sure if that is a typical user of course.

When you have the passion of the senior members and organizers that you have of this forum, I'd like to think many of you really, really knowing your stuff. However, there will always be 'eduacted' people who know a lot about many things but this 'what's out there and how does it work' will still seem either mystical or religious. I think these are the people who are pain because they seem to think that their theories or whatever they say has just as good a chance of being right as anyone else. I think these people fundmentally do not understand what science is but they have been told their whole lives that they are special and therefore they assume that what they say must sound quite reasoned (I think I'm doing it now).

Also, I think you should give Jerry his own section of BAUT. I would be happy to support that financially!
