No problem, Matthew, you can post it anywhere you like, but when the wolves come out, you better have my back.
I just want everyone to remember, this challenge is more of a friendly invitation to Mr. Randi and his supporters, than the "perfect" psi experiment. I really would like to diffuse some of the antagonism and nastiness that surrounds the JREF Million Dollar Challenge. Let's just do this, have fun and not try to suffocate each other with mean spirited insults. We all know that nobody on either side will buy into the other's argument, but if we can elevate the public dialog about "consciousness survival" in a scientific manner, then i think both sides win.
