Looking at recent stuff in this newsgroup, I'm wondering: is it worth
asking real, serious questions in this newsgroup? Or is this newsgroup
now a basket-case?

There are still a few physicists lurking here. It is not hard to tell who
the
crackpots are, just ignore them.

I always thought that being a crackpot is a *prerequesite* for being a
physicist.

Of course. But what then do we call the likes of Androcles?
