Yes the old question: ignore the savages giving vent to silliness - or let others do it. Versus engage them and give them an audience while pointing out their errors.

""I wouldn't mind half
> as much if Clacking had anything substantive and
> NEW to offer.""

Yeah same old stuff - he has about 50 standard phrases he uses and these he repeats endlessly and all without evidence. On another website I labelled them CRUDD. Cladking's reprehensible unending deluge of dumb.

Note for Mods CRUDD refers to his IDEAS and the METHOD of communicating them, not himself for he is a fine old fellow.
