What drove bird evolution?

Half of your post is not on the topic of this thread. Others please disregard. Thanks.

Damm rights! I'm feeling a little cranky about that right now. What good is a moderated forum if we don't moderate just a little now and then. It seems to me that topic is a pretty basic way to keep things organized and allow a framework in which the posters can force each other to follow other guidelines -- like supply evidence. Just keep everyone on topic and they either run out of things to say if they can't handle the topic. Allow topic to wander and the ones with a weak position shift the goal posts.

Well, not to far. We need to let individuals have a fair amount of tether.I'm not going to pretend to be consistent either. I kinda let things go sometimes and jump in others. I seem to be the only one without a life right now so it's up to me to beat on things a bit.I actually used a short suspension for the first time the other day. One has to watch out for what the power can do but that doesn't mean I'll not wield it now and then.I will always be much more lenient towards the creos than the evos in the topics (on average). I might be quicker to move a proposed thread by an evo than a creo. I hope it's a bit unbalenced on the creo side. If the evo's don't like it --- well tough!

NosyNed, that is all off topic of bird evolution. All of you get back on topic.

While I agree you have to take someones pronouncements with more an more skepticism you can't throw everything out with one mistake. As more and more "mistakes" are made you might decide to stop bothering with a particular source, of course.We still discuss the pronouncements of the ICR and AIG even though they seem to be deliberately misleading a great deal of the time.This message has been edited by AdminNosy, 07-17-2004 01:50 PM
