The threads are often polarizing. It is hard to get a decent discussion going. I am one of the few people, for example, who will acknowledge and apologize for making a mistake, or who will simply say "I don't know, or haven't figured it out". When Bilow tries to embarrass me over a prediction, the actual quote almost always includes a phrase like "I am just guessing", or "I surmise", or "I think this is what the Administration believes", rather than a pretense to being Nostradamus. The mental atmosphere is often rather uncongenial. I went to a college that made discussion the centerpiece of instruction. The threads are pretty barbaric.......
