Hello there, I've just joined with the hope of some interaction with intelligent people mainly about scientific issues but also life and the universe in general. Sorry, I couldn't think of anything more original to say than that.
I wish you luck. The forum experimented with intelligent members some years ago, but they were boring. Consequently forum management decided to encourage woo-woo merchants, racists, gullible fools, political naifs, sociopaths, the mentally unstable, religious nuts, conspiracy theorists, self indulgent nerds and a lady from Yorkshire. Fortunately we all get on famously without rancour or disruption.
I recognise that avatar. Welcome to the forum. You'll find people a lot more... tolerant... of woowoo here.
