(...) OK, here's some personal data from my observations. All AFOLs (10) that I have met (granted, a small sampling) in person have been white. Of those, one was a female. According to November 1, 2000 US Government Census estimates: (URL) of the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Oh. My. Goodness. Say this isn't so, Frank! I'd debate you, but I'm afraid we don't have that much to argue about. :) I had somehow presumed your job would require some sort of higher brain function--but am I taking mental engagement for (...)

(...) Tom, If it was a HUNCH, Larry needs to make it clear that it was a complete fabrication - not dress it up as fact. Read the text I quoted again - does it sound like a hunch. When Larry said he was "unwilling" to tell us all where he found the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I've done so on many occasions, seriously trying to answer this very question (is the ocean blue, or is it reflecting the sky?) for myself. One tends to do this sort of thing when studying atmospheric science at the graduate level. There are (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) HUNCH. Do you know what that word means? Obviously not. (...) What about the word HUNCH do you not understand? Once again, as usual, you've latched onto one word or phrase in a post and pounded it into the ground, ignoring the entire post (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) "Why the *ocean* is blue" is not quite the same as the three sources you note, which all address "why *water* is blue". The phenomenom of the ocean taking on the color of the sky (in general) has been long observed and recorded by artists. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) From a simply pragmatic standpoint, I never saw the "no supper" punishment as that effective, including those few occasions when I was subject to it. It was too vague a punishment to have any lasting effect, even in terms of negative (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
