If I have been guilty of sneering during this debate, point it out, I'll apologize sincerely, and I'll stop doing it. I think I've avoided that sin (at least in this discussion) but if not, I'm very sorry. Joshua, on the other hand, is almost asking to be banned with his attacks on Jed, and his ludicrous dismissal of an entire field about which he apparently knows little.
