Hi, General!

The first responder informed me that I was in violation of the rules, and that perhaps I should read them again. In fact I did, and I found that I had violated no rules by posting this piece.
I agree, you violated none of the
Forum Guidelines. I believe Schraf probably had rule 2 in mind, the one about supporting assertions, but one isn't required to support assertions until they've been challenged. After all, it often isn't possible to anticipate which points will be found controversial. Perhaps I'll edit the guidelines and make that clear.
Yet, due to the length of the article I would ask that the responder would ask very specific questions.
About the "length of the article", long time denizens here are well aware that the moderators encourage members to keep posts focused. In particular, please do not simply cut-n-paste long articles into message boxes. Introduce your point, then provide a link to the longer article.
This has motivated me to post an article on Natural Selection. This will come in the next few days.
If your article is long and unformatted I will delete it. If your article is not already available on the net and you would like to post it here at EvC Forum then simply email it to me at
Admin and I will post it at the site and provide you the URL. It must be a properly formatted text file, or a properly formatted HTML file. I'm getting out of the copy edit business.
