Robert -- what part of "you are becoming tiresome pushing your anti-Anthere agenda " don't you get?

At present, every one of your Gaia e-mails comes across to the readers as an attack on Anthere. Several of us have asked you to back off for a bit and give it (and all of us) a rest. Could you please just do that?

Great that you are finding stuff to support your view. Have to say, though, that based on almost two years of participation and observation here, not to mention having some research experience myself, I know very well that it's easy to find information on one's own agenda, and that some people, including you, have not always been up front about evidence that might support another POV. I say this in full knowledge that it may bring on one of your pre-emptive strikes, BTW.

I am not a scientist, and I have to say that my first thoughts when hearing the words 'Gaia Theory' have a lot more to do with all that mystical/philosophical/religious stuff -- basically, that's the first context I heard them in, probably in popular fiction or boredly browsing in a New Age shop while the husband checked out Eastern Philosophy My point is, I'm not sure it's as cut and dried as you want to make it out to be, and your constant barrage of e-mails makes it very hard for people who might want to help resolve the issues to actually give them serious thought.

Please just give us a break J
