Not sure I see what is difficult about this. They put up a blog with a lot of great technical content, with occasional photos that display a fetching countenance and a little black dress. They mercilessly skewer the principals of the ID movement while appealing to the dog lover in all of us. Pretty straightforward. -------------- Myth: Something that never was true, and always will be. "The truth will set you free.
