I really dont mind gathering as much info as possible Part of that is my nature and part of it is that I feel that the criticism leveled upon seeking opinions here is just as valid as that of science in general or history for that matter.

I have faith that over the longhaul with an open mind science will cometo the right conclusions, you have to test, retest and ask yourself does it fit your own common sense? Nothing more different than being on this board. At least for me, as I often do things this way..

Same sort of thing was leveled at Widipedia. SOmeone did a study and found that had just as many, or as few inaccuracies as your standard encylopedia. SO make of tha what you will.

And in fact, it is not crucial that I come to some academic conclusion. Only that I take anything that I can use and try to see if it can help me. That's really bottom line if it works for me.
