Steve - <"report it now, validate it later" mentality. Don't get me wrong I love the internet. Think it's a great thing that may well be the begining of the end of 'physically based biases'. However, people have to be very careful.> Yeah, I know. This ostensibly could be be one "negative" aspect of the net. But personally, I find that understanding this aspect has made me more skeptical and cautious about all news I digest, relative to my pre-internet past. I perceive this as a good thing. I guess I worry about poor nameless-faceless gullible souls out there who might get taken advantage of, or might have a predisposition to blindly believe "The Big Spin Machine", whatever that is. The last sentence of the above snip from your post is the best that can be hoped for. PB
