What I asked is how do you choose the sources your rely on for accurate information? So far you haven't answered. So to repeat, on what basis do you decide that the "reseachers" and the "study" you mention provide you with accurate information? It's not a trick question. See the discussion Arlo and I are having on this question. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
