I think I agree with Micca. This is for the Big Things. Horrible question: since our intervention with Mark has apprently been successful (see other thread for THAT good news) should we be thinking about a double blind study to show we are really doing something here? Only one problem. . . how to decide who goes in the "control" group!! On second thought, let's just keep doing our best and it may make a difference to THAT starfish. Was it the Lubavitcher Rebbe who said that "any single act of love and kindness may be the one that tips the balance"? I was so surposed to read Robert Anton Wilson saying the same thing!
