I'm seeing an unfortunate trend recently on this list in several recent
threads.  Some may view it as open-mindedness, but probably more would
view it as unwarranted tolerance towards the scientifically-challenged.
While the below post might be in fun and prefaced with notation of
fraud, I still feel this violates the fundamental topical criteria that
applies to this list, that has thus far kept this list useful and
vibrant.  It doesn't matter if you don't inhale - let's just not go down
this road.
