wolfgang, you have very effecient, methodical technical & research skills, the findings are most interesting!!

the only person that I'm aware of naming as a scepticaemic was myself (on the UFO thread) - check it out. and I think i made the point that true skepticaemics wouldn't last long around mudcat as they don't have enough of a sense of humour!

but then, humour is such a strange thing, it varies from culture to culture. I was at a barbeque with some Afghan interpreters one night, and watched for some time as they told each other jokes, LTAO, so to speak. On each occasion as they cracked up, I was still waiting for the punchline!

my own sense of humour is so dry, it can fly right past people sometimes (or is that so bad?)

however, I would advise keeping away from Nurse Ratched's treatments - she is the only one to have truly experimented on skeptomaniacs - perhaps you should ask Giok - he seems to like it!

best wishes
