In 1995, if you wanted to trigger a contemporary Amateur Science revolution, you'd have the brilliant idea to perform a simple test: start a website for amateur science, and another one for "crackpot" physics. Let school kids find both. Injected so early in www exponential growth, could this have any significant impact? And, would the two virii compete for resources (would more people be interested in Scientific American project articles? Or in antigravity machines which never actually work?) After some years you'd see evidence for which tactic was the more effective: FE/Antigravity resembles less a meme than a conflageration which threatens to consume the entire online hobbyist community. Scientific American cancels "The Amateur Scientist" Oops. I hope all of that was going to happen anyway. I miss SciAm "TAS." (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
