    Nomination: An epitaph for talk.origins

    It's quite frustrating to interact with someone who simply repeats the
    same arguments over and over in virtually the same words and pays no
    attention to anything you write.

    Addendum: the bonus whoosh was "ignored" with this nomination.
    I suspect that your Chez Watt will earn another 'Whoosh', is that
    some sort of record?

    Respective of records, for the record, the allusion to __ignored__ was a
    nod to the ancient ones that occasionally peruse talk.origins.

    They will recognize the Ted Badge of Courage.

    I'm Holden you responsible for the pending nightmares. And
    may woodpeckers infest your "tree". ;-)

    I don't know what it says about "The Self," but a mirror test has
    clearly been failed.

    Glad to see you back. Some of us feared you might be a casualty of the
    Google purge.

    Your post reminded me that I forgot to post a vote for the February Chez
    Watt. But since the epitaph above was the only nomination, it doesn't
    much matter.
