Hello michael97123; How come you dont reply to folks who disagree with you? [I write this as a general response to similar, recent remarks seen here on FADG.] Posting an article represents a suggestion for discussion to the greater FADG body. You are, however, making the same mistake made so often by others here, that is that the act of posting of an item automatically represents the opinion of the poster. Such is hardly the case. Several of us, especially me, routinely post unusual, alternative viewpoints that challenge us to continue doing reality checks on our assumptions and understanding. You would be wise not to jump to conclusions about people's beliefs; in fact, what difference does it make what stockman_scott believes? One's own understanding is what is at stake here on this "educational/investigative" forum and each of us should be free to contribute in our own way without fear of being called on the carpet.
