Agreed. This newsgroup is an obvious forum for the discussion of the
pro's and con's of scientific funding, emphasis, ... and (even)
direction and validity. As such, we are all obligated to contain
the personal attacks. I was disappointed that the nature of the
discourse took the negative/critical track. I think it is important
and useful to air the views and hear the arguments (both for and against any
topic of interest) of researchers from such diverse backgrounds.
My vote: Continue the discussion - without the nastiness.
