Brad,



I don't see it as a bad thing to have public discussion on this,

for a couple reasons:



- Even if some AR wackos are reading this, it's not necessarily a bad thing for your enemy to know you are going to fight back.

In fact, I think it's a good thing. With regard to corrupt government scientists (who play a big part in the hysteria/propaganda), imo, we are not outspoken enough. If any of those corrupt scientists are reading this, great. I'm not sure I understand what exactly it is that you are so afraid of with these "public" discussions?



- I want to know what others are thinking. I might be overly idealistic, but I strongly disagree with back-room or "behind-the-scenes" compromises. Not only on ethical grounds, but I also want to know if and how soon I should just give up fighting this. If there is no long term strategy(ies) other than writing a s***load of letters and making a s***load of phone calls every 3 to 6 months, them I'm out. That ain't gonna work, imo.



For better or worse, I want things out in the open. Our country wouldn't be in such bad shape as it is if things were out in the open and the truth exposed and junk science attacked. That's just my opinion.



Thanks,

Ed





>>Exactly correct. What possible use could it be to air our arguments and disagreements here on an open public forum for all to see? Especially when those differences are so minor in comparison to the overarching goal we all share-assuring the survival of our hobby and, indeed (for most of us), our very way of life!
