I enjoy it too, and the humour and good spirit in which you take it is great.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes -- Chris (Duae Quartunciae)sylashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594421176931832170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879226427561095229.post-69128412080581623202008-04-18T07:40:00.000+10:002008-04-18T07:40:00.000+10:00Hi Duae,Welcome back to the blogosphere.

I just wanted to thank you for your post here and the great picture of the wedge!! <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Willam.William Brookfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125883559833719058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879226427561095229.post-47272341934321619262007-06-19T16:29:00.000+10:002007-06-19T16:29:00.000+10:00How very interesting!I have just had a visitor to ...How very interesting!<BR/><BR/>I have just had a visitor to Duae Quartunciae from the Uncommon Descent blog admin pages. Kudos to them if they leave up the blog article! And welcome.<BR/><BR/>My prediction that the Uncommon Descent blog article would disappear has so far failed. I may have miscalled that one.<BR/><BR/>As for whether Brookfield would be dropped from the ISCID; that's going to be a bust as well. The group appears to be almost defunct; but it turns out that Brookfield is not actually a fellow of the society; merely a member, and this appears to be open to anyone, and gives access to journals and other materials. There's no implicit endorsement, and so no reason to drop Brookfield. I guess I was wrong on that one.<BR/><BR/>I bet Dembski just suggested one time to Brookfield that he sign up; which I guess could be called "invited to join". But I gave this much more significance than it deserves.<BR/><BR/>Brookfield has found a friend to join his ICON-RIDS, and that all promises to be very entertaining. Good luck, guys.<BR/><BR/>Finally, the predictions that blogs all over the net will pick up this story with ribald glee has been confirmed. It's pure ad hominem, of course... but quite appropriate to wonder how well Dembski checked out this blog before advising others to check it out.sylashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594421176931832170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879226427561095229.post-76893481644504165652007-06-19T15:15:00.000+10:002007-06-19T15:15:00.000+10:00I see you've started commenting over there.

Remember, that way leads to the Dark Side.<BR/><BR/>Although you make a good point - I've recently been musing on writing an article for PCID on what the study of the natural world tells us about the Designer. It seems that these ID folks need a bit of help on this.<BR/><BR/>BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879226427561095229.post-50142134288168378592007-06-18T15:47:00.000+10:002007-06-18T15:47:00.000+10:00Bingo, Hermagoras.
