It's time to trot out this little gem from the movie Horse Feathers, Groucho Marx singing "Whatever It Is I'm Against It." The patron saint of CAVE:

Yeah but leilanidude was pointing to a specific article implying we'd find specific instances in which they were congregating. And, I went there and read the article which made no mention of such a thing. So I was wondering what specifically leilanidude is alluding to? Other than a possible fondness for making generalizations about make believe mumbo jumbo, I haven't a clue as to what he thinks he saw at the link he provided. Which speaks of 20 people getting together and a speaker sharing some info. I guess folks like PaulW, who knows so much more about those kinds of things than I do, can explain it to us.. or maybe leilanidude?

After reading that article I could feel the pain of the cave people, desperately searching for a reason to stop progress. Every time they thrusted, evil Big Solar parried. Successfully for now, but the mob will be back. Maybe the anti-science crowd here can help us out by predicting what angle of attack will be the eventual favored one. Endangered bacteria? Holy dust? Electrothermal radiation?

See, what I tell you? PaulW comes through. And I had no idea he is psychic? But behold.. he could "feel the pain" of some folks that live in caves. Wow, I am impressed. I wonder where, pray tell, that cave is? I mean, being an avid (only a hobbyist) spelunker, I love exploring any new cave I hear about. Though I suspect Paul's going to keep this one secret being it is home to the rare, and endangered, anti-everythingers. Maybe not? One can hope, right?

No mention of my female relatives or my lower body parts. Well done, glindakine, the medication seems to be working!

Concerns expressed and addressed. I don't think it will be protested or held up in any way.

Agreed. I didn’t read anything else into the article either.
