Hi Michael,

This is wonderful. It took me a bit to figure out how to join, but that might be a sign that I'm sufficiently non-scienctific to be of some help.

I notice we have two guilds. Interesting. In the other you have to pass a test. Interesting as well.

Although you may not have intended it as such, I take these two guilds to represent STATUS QUO METHODOLOGY and the PURE THOUGHT that methodology originally came from. They both involve EXPERIENCE and LOGIC, but methodology has ASSUMED (or is it PRESUMED) a limit to both.

I certainly hope that those who would assume or presume a limit, would be gracious enough to keep their thoughts and/or attitudes out of this guild.

I would also hope, that people will be mindful of sticking to the subject of a thread and any proposal made by person who began it. Stay on subject and discuss the merits and shortcomings of the proposal directly. If someone sees something inconsistent it, point it out and explain why it seems inconsistent, but don't just say "I look at things differently so therefore you're wrong".

And certainly don't say anything in an uncivil manner. Sheez, the forum has enought of that as it is.

Good luck,

Eric
