Just a brief diatribe.

First, if you don't know what you're talking about, please don't post long
theories categorically stating your warped (and probably incorrect) view.
Initiating a discussion is one thing.  Shooting off your mouth just to show
everyone how smart you are is a waste of net time and net money.

Second, what I'm about to say will be lost on the target audience, but
what the heck.  Maybe some reasonable soul will pay attention.  Nobody cares
about your theory if you can't back it up.  I can very easily say that a
possible mechanism for gamma-ray bursters involves the burping of space
elves who have consumed to many space potatos.  But it's a useless theory
until I provide some experimental test.  So to Hannu, McElwaine, and the
other fringe types: spare us your lunacy until such proof is available.

Finally, since those referred to above will undoubtedly ignore my pleas,.
I will plead with the rational people to IGNORE THE WEENIES!  If someone
posts a stupid theory, don't flame, don't make fun, don't comment.  And
as we saw with Hannu, don't even e-mail, because you'll make a martyr out
of the said person, and they'll never go away.  If we ignore silly people,
then their silliness may be taken elsewhere.  Otherwise, we're liable to
get long summaries of email, previous posts, etc., with the martyr's choice
comments.

Post finally, if you read the sci.physics FAQ, you'll see that this group
is NOT for the discussion of off the wall theories, the existence of God,
the psychological stability of Hannu's daughter, etc.  Other groups and
email exist for these purposes.  Kindly don't clutter up my, or anyone
elses's reader with useless crap.

Thank you for your support.
