INFO_DART, I understand, I have done it too. Usually i use e-mail for my scatological stuff as some stuff I do not want on the SI server.

I tend not to get into long theoretical discussions on various subjects. Instead I wait for a situation and then try to solve it through analysis. I find excess time spent in theoretical stuff is actually badly spent. One might think it it like math problems, the more you solve the better you get, not so, the more of this discussion you do the less well you solve real situations when they occur as you try to force them into the prior solved problem and the variation is too great for that to ever be effective. So that is why my fee suggestion. Think about it, you could say what you liked, and could pay for, if you are poor you are disenfranchised after you fail to pay for a huge bad worded post. The rich could roam the thread, say what they want etc etc. Upsides and downsides. What about politically incorrect stuff, we would need a referee, but would he be an atheist/christian/muslim/shintoist etc. aech would have a bisa but the atheist the least, or perhaps a non denominational theist would be best?
