Is this an actual problem? I've only been on EDSTAT for seven or eight
years, but I cannot remember an awful lot of postings beginning, say:
"As a citizen of the State of North Carolina I STRONGLY OBJECT to
Bayesian ideas being circulated on a mailing list being suppported by my
tax dollar. This cult, founded by an English Episcopalian priest,
demands belief in unverifiable "prior probabilities", it is really a
RELIGION, and it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for the government to support it."
Anybody else remember any?
