Adding to Terry's "Kommentary" Jones and Rothwell have been known to spar with each other on occasion. (This is nothing new! I suspect they simply rub each other the wrong way, and there's nothing much we can do about that other than not get between them! ;-) ) I personally perceive this particular incident as having gotten, perhaps, a little more heated than usual, but not unduly so. Heated or not, I tend to learn interesting stuff digesting the POVs expressed from both sides of the fence. Keep in mind the fact there really was no character assassination going on here, the hallmark of a flame war. The only items being assassinated here were the other person's opinions and personal perceptions concerning the accumulation of "scientific evidence" (or more precisely the alleged lack of it). As one can see, opinions on such matters can occasionally get passionate within the Vort Collective. Personally, I didn't perceive this latest exchange as "pollution". More like an unstable but interesting warm front. ;-) Speaking of warm fronts, we could use one in the Midwest. There's snow on the ground in Madison, Wisconsin. I thought we were done with this white stuff! Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
