So as I understand it, knowledge that I acquire by word of mouth, ie.: the radio, friends, a lecture by a professor; these sources are all "bogus". So all the stuff that's important is printed, like in books, magazines; like National Enquirer, etc. Aside from that, you are still making a conclusion about the poster of the article which may or may not have any validity. In fact, it sounds remark- ably like a put-down. Dave "Holler when you're hit!" Richards
