This is a public forum - there will be abusive comments and curt retorts. The owners of the board inforce fairly strict rules of decorum. Within those guidelines, let the fur fly! Call people on bad facts, poor logic, weak and poorly documented arguments, unsupportable opinions and needless repetition (there has been too much of that on this thread!)

I interpret Nereids question as a plea to be less obnoxious. I can do that - we all can.

Most importantly think, evaluate, be skeptical, don't be afraid to question and learn; and try to understand the opinions and positions of others.


Oh, and have fun. (This is the fun part of science)...and close this thread!
