However, supporters of CF research fall into two camps. 1) Those who believe the effect can be explained by established physics. They would deem the effect normal. 2) Those who believe the effect cannot be explained by established physics. They would deem the effect paranormal. If you are in the first camp it would not be considered wise to associate yourself with Randi. Harry
