Not really! What would really help is a psychiatric
study identifying the various other social
disfunctionalities associated with people who top-post
to newsgroups.

Compared to the nuclear weapon development in Iran, top
posting is pretty minor.

Compared to the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs
after 65 million years of dominating the earth, nuclear
weapon development in Iran is pretty minor.

Anybody other than the good Doctroid posting from
the snow belt?

Up until last week, but the meteorologists say Lake Erie is
*finally* iced over, so no more lake effect storms here!
Lake Ontario is the culprit over Oswego County.



You be wrong, per Channel 8 (Cleveland)(or was that the
Clveland Plain Dealer ?)(it were someone local, at least, and
news-ish). Huron is sending us wet gooey masses of snow. And
Lake Effect is just a term for "We aren't sure how much will
fall before it stops or where it will fall so we will make up
this here cute name for GO SOUTH OR FREEZE YOU IDIOTS"



Patience will be rewarded. 2006 was the hottest year
on record in the US, and the fifth hottest year in
the world on record (following only 1998, 2002, 2003
and 2005). The past 9 years have all been among the
25 warmest years on record for the continental US.
Every single year since 1993 has been in the top 20
warmest years on record, globally. Researchers predict
that temperatures worldwide will increase between 2
and 8 degrees by the end of the century.

So, my advice is to stay put and wait it out.
