No bugs, Blue. I am constricted by the guidelines that Christine has laid down. You will recall that the new thread was her idea: This is a thread at SI, not a forum governed by academic standards of research and scientific proof. It is popular culture, you know, a place to discuss all sorts of things on many different levels. Certainly it is more egalitarian when it is a place where anyone can feel comfortable venturing an opinion, or expressing a feeling, without feeling they must footnote their remarks. I LIKE egalitarianism! Maybe someone should start a thread where pure intellectual argument can take place unblighted by anyone who does not have postdoctoral credentials. Sometimes I just feel like hanging out, writing and unwinding after a long day at the office, or having fun. Intellectual squirmishing does not always feel like fun to me, although of course there should be a place for it at SI if there are enough people who enjoy it. You see? Bugs can squirm, but they can't squirmish. (!!) Joan
