Topic title modified a bit
Normally, I would not post a seperate message concerning something like this. As noted at the end of message 1, I have added the "(of trilobites)" part to the topic title.
Usually when I do an addition to a topic title, it is because the topic title is very poor and non-descriptive. Such was not here the case. Randman's original topic title was pretty good. But I do think adding my bit does help some, because "trilobite eye" probably has a little more meaning than "schizochroal eye" to most people.
Please, there is no need for anyone to reply to this message, here or at any other location.

Flagging a message as being a quality reply
IMO, Omnivorous's message 8 is an example of a quality posting (to POTM or not to POTM?). Especially relative to #8, messages #5, 6, and 7 are (again IMO) pretty lame.
#8 moves the debate forward, the others probably more just cause bad feelings.
Just a little insertion - People, strive for "quality" not "lame".
If you really feel you must reply to this message, do it in the "General..." topic, link below.

Back in the bigging, we had what looked to be a good topic going
To Randman and/or Omni -
I have been considering giving your messages 1 and 8 joint admin mode POTM nominations as being a good start to a good topic. Of course, the topic seems to have "gone to hell" since then.
To Randman - My impressions are that Omni is a pretty damn reasonable to deal with person. As you may have noticed, I actually did earlier somewhat condemn the messages of some of the other evos.
In the ever glorious hindsight, this topic looks like it might have been a good "Great Debate" between Rand and Omni. But we seem to be stuck with what we have.
