    Hi Dace -

    I've encountered some pretty dense, useless, pointless, and senseless
    gobbledegook in my time, looking over tracts by UFOlogists, homeopaths,
    aura readers, psychics, remote viewers, OOTB advocates, religious
    zealots, democrats- my web bookmark file is chock full of loonies and
    cranks and ranters, and I'm a frequent visitor to
    http://www.ratbags.com/loon/ to check out the latest, but, really, Dace,
    this ain't a battle here to see who can outloon the next loonie,
    although, from all appearances, that's what you think it is.

    - Wade
