Much as I hate to admit it, John has a point. ("There is no idea so good you
cannot find a fool supporting it." -- Larry Niven) Carl, the site in question
is _not_ an academic site, and so academic freedom does not apply. Further,
your position in favor of completely unrestrictred free speech is not
representative of anything outside the academic community, and is
controversial even there. Who appointed you guardian of academic freedom,
anyway?

>ANNOTATED REFERENCES

And another thing: Is there anyone else out there who finds Carl's practice of
including voluminous references in _every_ article he posts as annoying as
Hasan B Mutlu/Serdar Argic's similar practice?
