I can only hope that Brian Greene is not waiting for a reply.

I ask why do dumb F***s posts this infantile crap in a physics
newsgroup, since it becomes obvious that the majority of posters have
never cracked a textbook on the subject?

Hope you can explain that one to me, and yes, I am a graduate
physicist after spending 5 years in undgraduate study, working through
all of the assigned problem sets, suffering through all of the all
night cram sessions, and finally passign all of the exams.

Physics is pretty logical, and if you carefully learn the basics in
Physics 101, and follow through for the next 6 or so years of intense
study, you willl eventually have acquied sufficent knowledge to
pontifiate on the subject, and possilblh be even in a position to
dispute their ideas.  Until you reach this level of knowledge, it is a
rather good idea for everyone else to sit back, crack their textbooks,
and keep their pie holes closed.

Too much crackpot, ignorant crap is today being posted on sci.physics.
It's time to slam the door in the face these ignorant assholes who
post this nonsense!
