Hi Linda

Thanks for the welcome. No I'm not a member of EvC, but I have been visiting there for some time now.

I myself don't want to dwell on this an longer because I'd rather focus on scientific discussions, if indeed any can get going here.


Perhaps this is the heart of the problem here. It doesn't seem to take long for discussions to wander way off topic, and then points made or traction gained on either side are lost. I'm sure this is frustrating for those involved in the discussion (as it is for the readers). Perhaps the discussions would be more productive if the threads were modded more to stick with the opening topic?
