I regret that I won't be able to contribute more than occasionally
to this newsgroup for the better part of the coming year. My
spare time is going to be taken up with work on a new edition of
my introductory astronomy textbook. One important addition will
be a section on pseudoscience, including Creationism, prompted by
my experiences here.
I am grateful to all of those who have engaged in discussion on
this topic, on both sides of the issue. I have learned a great deal,
and been prompted to do a lot of reading I otherwise would not have
done. I hope I have not flamed anyone too badly. I apologize
if I have. I will continue to read net.origins as time permits.
Thanks to one and all who have made this an interesting experience.
