Come on, just a little intellectual honesty . . . please!

The Evolution ping list includes a lot of scientists. They are routinely pinged on evolution-related subjects.
How many real scientists, and how much real science, supports ID?
[Read The Wedge Strategy lately?]
There's no secret how the EVO ping list operatars. PH explains on his home page
Then I started using the list for science threads in addition to evolution -- like cosmology, astronomy, physics, SETI, and very little else (but I've pinged for crop circle threads because they're soooooo stupid). There are science ping lists maintained by other freepers; but this one is limited to my peculiar tastes. I usually don't ping for cloning, stem cell research, engineering developments, etc.
Some evolution thread regulars don't care for (and didn't sign on for) the non-evo science topics, so to spare them unwanted pings I've been using only the first half of the list for non-evo science pings; however, this remains primarily an evolution list, so the whole list gets pinged for evo threads. List members have a choice: (1) If you want non-evo and my usual evo pings, tell me and I'll place your name in the [elite] first half of the list; (2) if you want to be "evo-only," tell me that and I'll keep your name out of the first half. If you don't specify, I'll decide for you, based on the type of thread you're in at the time you contact me. Either way, please be aware that most pings are for evolution threads.
For those who don't like the bickering in the evolution threads, and who want to be pinged only for non-evo science threads, that's a problem. It would require keeping two separate but overlapping lists, and that's too much work. The best I can do is put you in the first half of my list for non-evo pings; and then -- although you'll get evo pings too -- you can ignore the evo threads.
Pings for Science(including evolutionary science) and for the Creationist sideshow. We who are pinged are supposed to work out the difference.
This was about a long running debate between scienntists (no mention of Creationsm there.
Also (nothing to do with Creationism either)
And like Drs Groves and Thorne, we could have gone on quite happily arguing amongst ourselves, even if you hadn't shoiwn up
