Upcoming changes and service interruption
Probably over this weekend MR will be upgraded to the latest ExpressionEngine package. This will include an Open Forum and a number of other useful tweaks to the system. So if you find we are off-line for a while that will be why.
Then over the ensuing days we will be making some general design changes, including garnering our science material into a single resource available at the click of a button on the side-bar. Again, some unavoidable but brief service interruptions will be occasioned. Our apologies for that. But we expect the end-result to be worth it.
Thanks, as ever, for your interest and your fantastic commenting support, and please stay with us to help develop the blog and all the arguments for majority rights.
UPDATE - November 14th
The EE guys performed their mysterious deeds today, in fact. We will now set about making the required design changes.
The Forum carries a risk, I agree. But it also gives the blog an extra, somewhat democratic dimension. I think it’s worth a try. If the tone descends into personal abuse we’ll IP-ban the offenders, naturally. But actually, the experience civility-wise has been remarkably good thusfar, and I’m hopeful that won’t change.

You’ll have the science in the main blog as well, won’t you. I find the genetic stuff in particular by far the most interesting posts here because you can’t find it elsewhere andit’s beginning to provide some hard data by which one can work out a reasonable position.
All the WN political we-hate-Jews and let’s-storm-the-White-House-to-remove-the greedy-politicians gets real old rather fast.
I find economics Conservatism interesting too (and you’re not getting conventional GOP boosterism when you get mine) but I’m not sure others agree.
