When I joined FR, if you made a statement and couldn’t back it up, the old-timers ate your lunch. I leaned NEVER say something that you couldn’t prove with a link.

Exactly.. I learned that quickly myself.. and I am usually too lazy (that’s why I lurk more than I type :P)

BUT, THIS is too important to be lazy over!!!

And, fair is fair, I said something, and someone asked me to back it.. I started it, may as well finish too ;)

That's as it should be, imho. We're fortunate to have so very many mature and intelligent FReepers. :)

Also helps to link to “something that backs up your point”, not what biki used to make a very lame point.
