Unless something is done this board will indeed go the way of the evolution
list. This would be a great pity, as this ASA discussion has been the
preeminent science and faith discussion. At the moment there is nothing being
discussed of interest to me and I am deleting almost all the posts. Some
strong action from the moderator is requested. I came back from three weeks
away and had some 300 emails waiting, nearly all from ASA, and almost all not
worth reading. I very nearly pulled the plug there and then.
