Skeptic: <Its amazing how most people choose one extreme or the other and then congregate with others who share their views. Anyone who questions the conventional wisdom on a thread gets flamed and either flames back or goes away.>

I'll speak for myself though I'm gonna guess there are plenty of others out there, possibly a majority, who primarily lurk and/or occasionally post. The flaming you've received has been from those who've contributed the most and who've done most of the research and have feely shared their expertise and opinions. I feel if their work has been questioned and they feel they're having to repeat/regurgitate that work then expect a flame; justified or not.

You were given positive reinforcement the past few posts for playing Devil's Advocate so don't generalize that we're all clumped to one side or the other. Refer to postings 2 months ago from DF to TMex if you want to see what would bring us out of the woodwork.

I'll end by saying continue to bring up questions. I agree that the dialog you and the others has been quite civil but if Skip or Jack or TM or Cheryl or Karl or Viktor (I know I'm leaving some out) get irritated and respond with a flame, they've earned it. I'd rather have them flame you than ignore you. The rest of us out here are intelligent enough. We can, I can, make my own decisions accordingly.
