Welcome to EvC
Welcome EODoc,
Glad you decided to add to our diversity. We have a wide variety of forums for your debating pleasure, but I warn you it can become habit forming.
A couple of comments:

Using one of the quote box forms makes it easier to discern your words from those you are quoting.
You can use the peek button to see how this was done.
Also since each thread is limited to 300 posts, we frown upon posts that don't further the discussion, such as your correction post. You can use the edit button to correct spelling errors.
In the purple signature box below, you'll find some links that will help make your journey here pleasant.
Pay particular attention to our Forum Guidelines and all will go well.
Please direct any questions you may have to the Moderation Thread.
Again, welcome and fruitful debating. Purple

    Topic Closed - Can't Stay on Topic
    After reading this thread from the beginning, I don't think it has managed to stay on topic for more than a few posts.
    Message 43 is the revised topic.
    I don't see that anyone is attempting to discuss the topic. Since this seems to be turning into the same old evolution discussion, I'm closing this thread permanently.
    If anyone feels that they want this topic reopened and can actually discuss the intended topic, please make your case in the appropriate thread listed below.
