I will agree with you to a point Ivy. However if you think about it the
skeptics (or people who call themselves that) online are hardly a fair
sampling of the species. I think of myself as a skeptic, because I do not
see being skeptical as "close-minded". When a person is truely skeptical
they do not believe everything they hear, but they are open minded enough
to at least have a wait and see attitude.

I am not sorry at all for them, we only learn when we allow ourselves to
see beyond the end of our noses and LISTEN to what others have to say. It
is a process, that most of us go through all our lives. There are very few
of us who are stuck in a vacuum. ;-)
