[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 493761, member: 307"]if you won't accept scientific facts, then there's no convincing you, spock. Speedy, my comment to Doug was this: Don't just sit there and say it doesn't work. Either offer something constructive, or let the fools and dreamers babble until they reach their own conclusion. If it can't be done, then it will eventually work it's way to that. My problem is Doug's constant overbearing and know-it-all attitude. He often criticizes and says something doesn't work. He is very simple and matter-of-fact about it. When pressed for facts, he simply says, "that's the way it is", but he presses others to explain their thoughts completely.
