I have put a great deal of effort into this. Many hours of searching for data and of evaluating data. Trips to the library and gooogle search. So do not assume I am being lazy. Ninety mile trip to sift through archives finding nothing. And my physical barries make it a lot tougher than it used to be.

Forums are for open debate and discovery. And yes I do expect some responsibility from myself as well as others. When I make a statement and it is challenged I feel an obligation to show my evidence. And I will challenge your opinions asking of your evidence.

I have been challanged and subjected to much criticism. Some rather rude and derogatory terms as well. The ones on this forum are some of the milder ones. Would have been a lot easier to simply agree with everyone and say you are right and I will shut up and go away.

Open forum. If you think my questions and curiosity are less than worthy of your time then you can choose not to respond.

I choose to post where my questions will come under the most intense critical review of informed educated and inquiring minds because that is where I have the potential to learn the most.

If your intention is to denigrate and discourage those who would ask questions then why do you even bother to further your own knowledge?

Attitude of superiority does not impress. Just a barrier to communication. I am not surprised at the vast number of conspiricy theories in the general public. Attitude.

Accept the burden to refute or just ignore. That choice is yours to make.

Change your avatar, that one looks a little pompous. Just my humble opinion.
