Re: No neutrino gap.
Hi TheRestOfUs,
I have to confess that your posts are driving me crazy trying to separate which are your words and which are other people's. For example, I'll be reading along thinking I'm reading your words, then suddenly I hit, "End of quote from so-and-so".
Figuring it might be just me I thought I might just leave it be, but now others are starting to complain, so I'm going to give you a couple more days to figure it out, but if you still can't make it possible in some way (and I don't care what way) whose words are whose then I'll temporarily suspend your posting privileges in this forum. You can go to the Practice Makes Perfect forum and practice there until you've attained at least some novice level of expertise with the dBCodes or HTML or indentation or fonts or something, anything, so that other people's words are identifiable as not yours.
Also, use the Preview button so you don't have to keep editing your posts 4 or 5 times.
This isn't rocket science. Actual children have had no trouble using discussion boards.

Let me answer your last question first. No. I don't believe I have enough personal knowledge myself to adequately fill in the gaps. As I've said I am fascinated by the entire subject and am very interested in it for philosophical reasons. But that's all. If that disqualifies me from being on this site all the moderator or the owner of this site has to do is ask me to leave and I'll be gone.
If you're defending a position you've accepted not on the basis of its supporting evidence but for other reasons, such as believing that scientists are just following the herd instinct, or that they've given you reason not to trust them, or that they're just circling the wagons to protect their own gravy train, and so forth, then you'll be in an exceptionally weak position here. At EvC Forum the focus is on the supporting evidence.
But there is nothing in the Forum Guidelines against defending a position one is unqualified to defend, though it is unusual for someone to acknowledge it. In any event, carry on.

Though when I use it to display a table, for some reason it seems to pad a lot of space before the table that an admin then has to come along to fix.
Use the [table], [row] and [col] codes. They're described in the dBCode help.
You can't use the HTML codes for tables in a message because linefeeds between codes are displayed, but as you noted, at the top of the table. This may be part of the HTML standard because all browsers do it. For example, you can't do this:
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      cell 1 info
    <td>
      cell 2 info
  <tr>
    etc...
Because all the lifefeeds you included to keep things neatly organized become linefeeds displayed at the top of the table. But if you instead do this it comes out fine:
[noparse][table]
  [row]
    [col]
      cell 1 info
    [col]
      cell 2 info
  [row]
    etc...[/noparse]
The discussion board's message parser takes care of the linefeeds.

Hmm.. I guess I won't be here much longer. I'll be suspended or banned for one reason or another. Percy no need to warn me further. I'll save you the trouble. This will be my last post here.
This doesn't accurately reflect what I said. This makes it sound like I'm going to suspend or ban you for arbitrary reasons.
What I actually said was that if after a couple more days you still haven't figured out a way to make clear which words are yours and which words are not (the easiest way is to just use the dBCodes for quoting) then I will temporarily suspend your posting permissions in this forum while you go to the Practice Makes Perfect forum to work out how to do it. I'm sure everyone here will be glad to provide as much assistance as you need.

If you'd like to discuss the nature of evidence or the process of how one establishes what is likely true about reality then please propose a thread over at Proposed New Topics.
The topic of this thread is the evidence for genic energy provided by supernova data. I originally proposed that this thread focus on tired light, but that's not the direction discussion took, so I'm changing the title now.

Yes, that will work.
I should have explained a little better what's going on. When you enter this into a message box:

    etc...
Then the message parser replaces every linefeed with
, because that's what the message parser is supposed to do with linefeeds in messages, and it ends up looking like this:
cell 1 info cell 2 info



etc...
All the
's between table codes (rather than within, i.e., after a

cell 1 info

cell 2 info
code) are rendered at the top of the table by all browsers I'm aware of.

I don't keep suggesting you propose a thread to discuss the nature of evidence just because I like tapping my fingers on the keyboard. People really do want to discuss this with you, but you keep bringing it up in threads on other topics. Seriously, propose a topic over at Proposed New Topics to discuss the nature of evidence (or however you want to characterize it, e.g., science is only paying attention to part of reality, etc.) and I will review it as quickly as I can.
