    True, but they are expected to reference their sources, so you have the opportunity to verify their statements.

    Fiddle-Faddle, if there are topics you feel strongly about, why not add a few links to your signature? You could make your point, followed by "there are links in my sig if you want more information".

    This is not about you. It's about people being willing to back up their statements, and to be more aware of how they are using what they believe to influence others.

    grown up kitehs. No longer prowl the headboard in search of prey.

    Chatted with my student on the book. Weird melding of worlds :ph34r: I told her to go to bed :lol:

    HAPPY!!!!

    so it's all ok

    OK. Fair point. I'll try to be less ambiguous when I respond. It is these shared experiences that help us learn about ourselves, and I don't want to discourage that, even accidentally. ANYWAY topic of the post is: I found my diagnosis, not my doctor, and it bothers him.

    OK. must go to bed. Have actual work tomorrow. Was prevented from sending a long whiny email to my boss today by someone from a different lab wanting to borow some equipment. Since I didn't send the email, I am still expected to complete the work. Well, guess I'd have to complete it anyway, but now my boss doesn't know I'm whiny about it. Crap I hate...

    Criminy! Me either. On my third glass. Need to keep it to two, so must get bigger glasses...

    Hard to be motivated when we're all on Perma-Lent.

    missed all. dratted commute Is the world going to change any time soon?

    I know, it sucks. I'm so sorry. I don't eat anything new, or from a new place, unless I'm prepared to get sick. You could try telling your friends that you "read on a Celiac site that your intestines heal more quickly if you avoid..." then put in whatever you think will keep them from giving you "treats". Could be grain, dairy, soy, processed food...

    yer house...

    Got a work email telling us that there will be an afternoon service for Ash Wednesday tomorrow, which got me thinking... soooo, what're y'all giving up for Lent? I'm thinking gluten... ...soy... ...corn... ...almonds...

    There is a difference between sharing your experiences, and declaring that your experience is true for everyone. If I have a bad experience with one doctor, does that give me the right to condemn all doctors? If one Jewish person cons my friend out of money, do I now assume that all Jewish people are bad? If one black man knocks a woman out in my...

    I did not challenge your ideas in any way. I only asked that you provide support for things you stated as fact. Exchanging ideas is a good thing. Making false, or unsupported statements, and expecting everyone to just believe you, is not exchanging.

    For some reason I can't open the first site, but the other two have nothing to do with alcoholism.

    I'm pretty sure I haven't given an opinion either way on vaccines on this thread. My point is not to disprove you, but to insist that you put the source for your words. If I, or anyone, wants to form an opinion on the subject, it's only fair that you have made a clear distinction between what you have decided (based on whatever information) vs what others...

    A true compliment if I ever saw one. Is this what your honey used to ensnare you?
  22. Jestgar
    More than that. I have a lot of respect for many of the people on this board, based on past performance. Someone just in off the streets doesn't have that same frame of reference. I would like this board to be clearly in the "reliable source of information" camp, as opposed to the crap that's available at so many other sites. Yep, that would be fine...
  23. Jestgar
    Based on what information?
  24. Jestgar
    We should demand proper sizing. The average size (14 in US?) should be zero, and it should go up, or down, from there. All those runway models will be -16. Kinda puts things into a better perspective.

    Bah. Some sort of space-time discontinuum in my bathroom this morning. Stepped in with 45 minutes left to get ready, stepped out with 8 minutes to gather my wits and umbrella and run out the door. Need food and coffee. and dry pants.
