    Default Can I request that a technology/science sub-forum be created?

    Damo, you have already created a religion sub-forum so can we also have a technology/science one as well. I would suggest that it operates on similar lines to APP, to keep out the loonies like Desh and Rune.

    The resounding lack of interest is palpable and sadly to be expected.

    Probably not going to be much of a demand for that Tom. We have a couple of people with IT Tech background (You, Damo, Skidmark) and few with a science back ground (You, I, Billy, Damned Yankee) and that's about it.

    I think you're on the right track. Discussions and debates in science/technology are not meant to be confrontational like political debates but knowledge based and APP is a superior forum for such a discussion in that it prevents those who have nothing to contribute from mucking up the discussion thread.

    I would suggest that instead of Damo creating a new science and technology thread that if you wish to have an intelligent peer level discussion on a science/technology topic why not just post it here in APP?

    Well in case this is what you're looking for, yes I would also like that.

    I would post on topics like medical information or anything to do with health issues.

    If people would use it I would create one, but I don't think it would be in APP. There is politics in science, often to our misfortune.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
