    HVT: Having observed Stephen's posts for some years, I have made the
    decision to ignore them altogether. The rhetoric of these posts brings
    contentiousness and obduracy to new world record heights. I see no positive
    outcome in any of that sort of bickering.

    HVT: In the particular case at hand, I agree. To generalize to *all* who
    speak from an anti-evolution position is probably unfair to several persons.
