    This might as well go to net.news.group too, since that's how such
    matters are done.

    The DrivelNet has needed a net.psi for years. How do you suppose
    Mr. Gwyn feels having net.sci filled with parapsychology debates?
    We must purge heretical doctrines from techie sanctuaries so that
    scientismo-behaviorrhea may wax eternally!

    Would you expose your Science fearing, calculator wielding progeny
    to the influence of mystics, psychokineticists, 60's burnouts, 
    astral geometers, Seth enthusiasts, Santa Cruz metaphysicians,
    Bohmian holists, and psychotronic vibrationists? Of course not!

    Here are three votes for net.psi -- counting Sunny, that's four.

    Kierkegaard identified faith with "subjectivity", a subjectivity
    that is the dialectical negation of the "objectivity" that has 
    progressively and decisively evolved in history. The act of faith
    is a reversal of profane history.
