I notice you didn't take any of the other "tongue-in-cheek" posters to task over their comments in the thread prior and subsequent to mine.
If you paid attention to my posts, you'd notice that not only do I point out the "fringe-type" stories with that list, but other stories and threads that may be of interest to a variety of people.
To answer your other assertion, I DO pay attention to most of the scientific threads on FR, this one included. And while I may not comment on the vast majority of them, this one I happened to.
There was no offense intended toward you nor the subject matter.
