In that case, using message boards to promote an internet petition is quite a double-fail. evilgrin.gif

Your logic stops when people actually start doing something, rather than simply bitching about things on some stupid message board.

It's clear from this thread that this is one thing that happening....and that something else is happening.

You can call it stupid....or you can be part of it.

Your choice, of course....

Maybe I can explain things for Mr. Angel's benefit.

He is of course quite free to waste his time on this sort of thing. That is his choice. However, wasting others' time is a different issue. Also, detracting from Dr. Sanger's work, which might just have some chance of being useful, is bad unless he is deliberately trying to do so (which of course I would never suggest).
