It might be worthwhile to point out that few of us actually know one another.

Everything you just said about yourself could be a lie which is equally true for any of us.

It's necessary to have a certain amount of trust when posting on public boards. I can see no harm in EQF's posts being in the archives. If he thought there was such a possibility, he should not have posted them in the first place.

Another site I'm on has a rule stating "Attack the argument, not the poster" and it's rigidly enforced. I suggest it be adopted here as well. it's the was debate in science is supposed to happen (altho I have seen it go otherwise).
