Nereid had recently chastised posters about theories since theories are not part of the “only game in town” but since Robert N...

John, the statement "Well lets just say that they obviously wanted to show off the lineal alignment of the craters" does not equate to "propose ( sic ) a theory". Neither does, "Waste your own time" equate to "you are too busy right now". But, "a fool can...
