Amos, Donuel:

If you want to be taken seriously you have to do more than "casting into the wind". Mudcat for the most part consists of critical thinking people who actually 'look stuff up'.

Don'l has a history of starting threads with internet fables, and then stirring the pot with additional inaccuracies. I tend to ignore them. In one of the most recent, headed "The real WMDs" he posted outright scientific nonsense of the type that can be heard on the AM radio of an evening, followed it up with no relevant references whatsoever and finally a reference to a nazi web-source, which itself was posting fables.


That kind of history leads to attitudes that he is inheriting on this thread, which looks to be a similar lope into loopiness.

A more honest posting might be: "Hey I've got an illustration for you to look at" That's what seems to be the genesis of this thread.
