Blam - I know you've been reading up on this for months, as I have. What I find incredible is people who obviously have done no reading up and make fact free assertions. There's another thread this afternoon with people saying stuff which is just plain ignorance.
Why don't they educate themselves?
I think some people are very afraid of death and so any potential danger must be pooh-poohed in order to make the boogey man go away. And so people who are serious about it have to be ridiculed.
