I’m aware that I’m scratching at an old wound here, but previous threads seem either to be closed or zombified and I think this is too good not to share.

The column this refers to is [What’s up with homeopathy?](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/000225.html) (25-Feb-2000) which was a topic a’brewing when I first joined.

Some of you may be aware of the UK newspaper The _Guardian_ and its column Notes and Queries. They have had a homeopathy topic running (in print) for a while, and I thought the response of Dick Bentley, from Southampton was priceless. Here is [the link](http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-9542,00.html). Scroll down about two-thirds to see Dick’s classic response. (Obviously I would have posted the response itself here but for copyright.)
