Hi Marshall,

Your suggestion would have more merit if the group actually discussed any real theory. When I returned here, I saw self-promoting ignorants engaged in public acts of mental masturbation (as always), and one or two people trying to make the best of a bad situation.

When well over 90% of the content of the group is nonsense posted by self-promoting ignorants who are unable to respond to substantive critique, it seems disingenuous to suggest one may not point that out. Given the extremely low signal to noise ratio, it seems doubly disingenuous to suggest one may not point others toward the signal. Received on Wed Feb 15 2006 - 07:19:45 CST
