A suggestion to Refpunk
and a pretty strong one too!
As others have noted you don't even understand what the topic is here. You don't have the faintest idea about evolutionary biology.
I am suggesting that you slow down, assert less and ask more questions. When you have some idea of what is being discussed then you can ask more pointed questions if you still think something is being wrong.
If you persist in this current disruptive and unproductive behavior I will start to give you a number of short suspentions.

Post Titles Bluegenes
Since your post is not terribly tied to the original suggestion to RefPunk could you consider helping everyone by choosing appropriate titles for your posts?
Blank is better than littering the thread with not useful titles.
Thanks.

A suggestion to side and others
Since your post isn't so much of a suggestion to refpunk but more a rebuttal could you try to use topic titles which actually reflect your posts.
I ask this of those who are certainly able to do the summarization of a post.

Use of Post Subtitles
When you create a new post there is a Subtitle line just above the main entry area. My suggestion is:
You either blank it, write your post then think about what the main point of your post is and fill that out.
or
Think about what you want to say -- what would help others to know if they want to read it when they see it on an All Topics list-- and fill that out then write the post to suit.
This is good for two reasons:
For you and for others; it helps you focus your post -- it makes it sort of a mini chapter in a story; and it helps others if they don't have time to read everything, or helps them not to miss something interesting or helps everyone find a post days or weeks later. (You can search only subtitles)
Thanks for paying attention to this; way too few people do and a couple of us have a small obsession with this.

Stay on the topic of ERV's.
Next off topic post by anyone (after enough time to read this -- 10 mins) is suspended for 8 hours.
Edited by AdminNosy, : correct the author

off topic
mmmm, I'm debating whether or not this counts as the off topic post I was warning about. It's border line.
No suspension but go sit in the corner for 15 minutes.
