But Manny - what good is getting a recommendation from the choir? Jousting with the true believers in Global Warming is almost a national moral duty.

Therein lies the mixed appeal of SI threads, IMO. Some people get satisfaction from jousting. Some people want the warm and cozy feeling of being part of a club, enveloped in ideological kinship. The latter will swarm the former to remove the stain from their presence. The former want to grab the latter by the shoulders and shake them out of their torpor.

My apologies in advance to those who eschew boxes... <g>
