Dear Members,
as of immediately ( 5th April 2013 ) this forum will no longer permit the posting of personal theories and any material which obviously contradicst current scientific consesus. Any such posts will from now on be transferred to the Trash Can and locked. While in the majority of cases this call will be clear and easy to make, there may be some borderline cases which aren't easy to categorize; these posts and threads will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Generally posts like that will initially be allowed so that experienced members may reply to them - necessary action will then be taken according to how the OP responds to queries/corrections. If you are unsure whether or not a particular topic is permissible, please feel free to contact any member of the moderator team by PM first, and we will take a look at the material and advice you.
The 'Alternatives' section has been merged with the trash can, and hidden from public view.
