Certainly that's a larger number than the Chub's.  Good thing, too!

I think the best rule is to be kind.  Remember, the reader doesn't 
always know if you're joking.  Also, except for posts regarding the 
basic laws of physics, everything expressed here is an *opinion* and 
certainly not the last word on a subject (unless it comes from Paul - 
it's his list after all...).  With few exceptions, all opinions are 
valid, whether or not you agree. Reading lots of opinions is a great 
way to expand your vocabulary as a synthesist and artist.  Keep 'em 
coming!

Thanks for letting the lone Chub participate.

Strictly speaking, even the laws of physics are held by opinion.  As 
you may remember, the "laws" of science are only theories that have 
stood up to enough testing to be accepted by most people in the field.  
Science seeks for truth, but can never say with certainty that it has 
found it.  For example, after Newton, the law was F=ma; until Einstein 
got done with it, and now that is no longer the law (despite being a 
very useful approximation).

Well said, Chub!
