How about the denizens of these forums who wrangel over non-existent solutions to nos-existent problems. Discussions of very doubtful value, if any.

e.g. Zero Point Energy, Anti-Matter, etc.

Just because you don’t understand the subjecy does not mean it is without importance or value.

Yeah, how about them?

Oh, I’m sorry. Did you have an opinion, or were you looking for one? And how is anti-matter non-existent?

Well, I’m personally glad that we have **spingears** here to observe us and explain what’s worthy of being discussed. It’s like having an early anthropologist in our midst.

“The barbarous natives spend a great deal of time discussing impossibilities. Then they put on ceremonial warpaint and dance around the fire. What heathens!”

Where to begin, where _to_ begin…

Okay, **spingears** , if you have a rant about this board, it belongs in the Pit. I highly recommend you flesh out your complaints much more thoroughly because the Teemsters will undoubtedly stomp you hard if you don’t. By “flesh out”, I mean provide links and examples to support your view of who and what are wrong. Lastly, threads should have at least relatively clear titles to give posters at least a clue whether it’s something that might interest them.

This thread is closed.
