Milk Board contact info to begin "pushback" please?

Actually, I agree. I was hoping this thread would die out several days ago. I certainly didn't set out to distract, derail, show-off or miss the point. The point is not the analogy, it's the article, which is a great idea and works really well from my experience.

...a word of advice from a friend... Good thing THAT doesn't sound like a delusional future stalker at all.

Sorry, but my ethical system does not require inventing a cure when I identify a placebo (or nocebo) effect. The social benefit is in halting the waste of resources on a false "solution" that is not having the alleged effect. Only a child would argue "If I'm so wrong, what's the right answer?" Of course, that is the…

NO! You may not run back-to-school ANYTHING in mid-July. It is simply forbidden.

Women live into their 60s? Does Hollywood know about this breakthrough?

You're probably right. It didn't push that button from me, I've seen too many "reply all" type email errors to assume malice. If that's what you take away from this article, then I am with you 100%—no blame attaches to errors/incompetence/stupidity.

So Jezebel bans name-calling, but THIS is okay? Really?

Yeah, but nothing quite like having it in writing to inspire "levity".

You forgot to mention House has a magical nemesis: Lupus! Or is that more like Kryptonite?

I really hope you're right. Truly.

I wish we lived in the world where "so what" was the endpoint. But I suspect much "subtle" harassment will befall the women at the A and DD ends of the list (names, comments, "jokes", etc.). And much laser-like staring for the C and D gals, though they're probably used to it...

You have to provide an address within her district in order to send an email through her congressional website. So la-la-la, she can't hear you.

Margaret Thatcher?

A theory which cannot reject the null the hypothesis does not in any way require positing an alternate theory. At least in scientific analysis. That's a whole different discussion.

But Dad's knows that fat people can't see that they're fat (and disgusting and lazy and revolting and...). How could he be wrong?

I actually believe this works against clutter. For one thing, disorder stands out like a flaming beacon in truly tidy environment. But the "Broken Windows" theory of crime prevention has been totally discredited as a method of crime reduction.

Yeah, I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't be using this type of layout if their weren't plenty of people who would love it. I've been a Windows user since 2.1. I learned how to change the interface back when it was a series of lines buried in the win.ini file. Over time I have come to love the bare desktop with all my stuff…

Sorry, but all I see is busy and ugly. Oh, and a semi-tasteful shade of blueness. Something tells me I'm going to hate living in a Windows 8 world.
