On this net, everything seems flammable.  Quoting first hand observations
or procedures by which first hand observations can be repeated, hypotheses
and generalizations drawn from such observations, and suggestions for future
such work is _science_, and physics is supposed to be a science.  Maybe
ESP/PK/whatever can become a science if a few reliable and reproducible
examples are found.  I am not saying that, as non-science they are not worthy
of a forum for discussion, only that that forum should not be net.physics.
