What narks me is that I've turned my rather biggish library inside out and I can't find that book. Please tell me I didn't dream it.

I agree with both of you Luminari and Brook. There are just too many threads on politics and global warming type issues. We know there are political issues and we know there are global warming issues. We also know the sky is blue and that grass is green - but we don't go poking these things under people's noses so why the blazes cause thread pollution on Avalon? This is not what Avalon is about - it's about like minded people trying to interact with each other to find a way through the upcoming events with the least damage done.

Okay, I've finished, does anybody else want to step up onto this soapbox?
I kind of,sort of,just a little tiny bit disagree with the part of your post about to many political and global warming threads. Yes I think maybe just a tad to much, but on the other hand as long as they are posted in the right section then it doesn't really matter.
That's what all the different sections are for, so if they're posted correctly then you could actually just stay away from that section. I happen to think there is way to much spirituality stuff, and way to much doom and gloom that most won't even come true.

I'd also like to see a lot more science and astronomy posting but you have to take the good with the bad I guess. OK that's my soapbox time, LOL!
