I'm not sure that the "public" is generally aware of funding, or even of the real messages these organizations are putting out. I'd also say that, personally for me, as long as the message is obviously well thought out and not flirting with the edges of acceptable behavior and tone, I'm willing to listen to it. I'd like to think that I have a fairly accurate bullshit meter. Most important really is the ability to tell when you need to research a wild claim before automatically buying into it, rather then simply drinking from it's source. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:351202 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
