There's another phenomenon I notice on FFL too is the posting of some science articles that practically require a specialization in that field to understand. Are people posting them in hope that someone will explain it to them or the relevance they have? Or is it a holdover from TM "scientific studies" and the need to show that somehow TM'ers are "scientific." Of course someone might ask why do some of us post political articles too. Well politics more directly effect everyone. So when we post those anyone's input is welcome. I'm not saying that "science postings" are unwelcome but just an interesting phenomenon.
