"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Oregenicman, I remember we had something of a conversation about you starting a website for your photos. It could be monetized and you could earn money. You said you were perhaps interested, but didn't know where to begin. I know that Adrian is offering space on this server for a small fee. We also have some talented members who I am sure could help you get something started. I have some knowledge of different ad companies that can monetize your site. At any rate, if you do get it into your head that you would like to do it, start a thread. Your pictures are great!
