Moderator - move this to flame?
It would also be appropriate to let Cowing participate there.
By the way, I agree with Tom that the SFF has enough of its own nuts and kooks, but then that's simply what makes SFF so much fun. I wish that I could join in with them in their fun, but I can't find a way to become that stupid.
Perhaps drugs are the answer. Perhaps if I join in with them, the drugs will be available - no doubt many of them should be on heavy meds, if they are not already. As far as the other stuff goes, maybe they be holding their meetings in Alaska.
