- Yea, well maybe the tag team was exposed to a little physics, if nothing
- else. It sure beats the horoscopes they are exposed to everyday.
-
- It is the hope of many that the Internet over time be more accessible
- to the general public, so that more people can benefit from this valuable
- information resource. The downside is that more people will have access
- to USENET, which will lead to more "stupid" questions and "stupid" postings.
- Hopefully areas like sci.physics won't be flooded with such stuff.
- And if so, I think it is not a high price to pay to have to deal with
- these distractions from "serious" physics. Physicists in general do a
- lousy job of explaining physics to the general public, and can learn much
- from the "stupid" questions that are posted, in terms of public misconceptions.
-
-
- Thus, my pitch to keep sci.physics as is and unmoderated.
