"If you are going to another room, and you see something that belongs in that other room, pick it up and take it with you!" - my Mother.
Now, when I was a teenager, that was annoying. When I started having to clean my own apartment all by myself, it suddenly transformed into a common sense practice that saved hours of time and irritation. Now that I am older, it seems like a tidbit of wisdom that applies to almost everything. It's not eloquent, out of a holy book, or from a famous person, but . . . there ya go.

Drfuzzy, question about that phrase in your signature. "All legitimate knowledge must be provable"
Can you prove that?

LOL Kingpin! Let's call it a personal opinion. Actually, scientific method folks, help me out here . . . I would call a theory that has quite a bit of reliable data behind it valuable. Not unlike a wealth of circumstantial evidence in a court case. I would give quite a bit of credit to the possibility of the theory - but not claim that it has been proven.
That's kind of like my thoughts on the existence or non-existence of deities, Kingpin. And it's why I put it down as my signature. Give me proof, or yeah, it's just a theory. If it's a theory, how much data do you have behind it? I get to examine the data before deciding.
Now that was my usual ramble, but . . . did I make any sense, folks?
