Scott Teresi is cute. (no, really, he's got a nice pic)

It would appear to these critics that the foundation of psi knowledge is just a chronology of apparently successful but nevertheless abandoned experiments, providing no real increase in ?knowledge.? Skeptics say we have yet to build a foundation of successes with which to direct and refine future experimentation.

Wouldn't believers say "we have yet to build a foundation of successes with which to direct and refine future experimentation?" Successful experiments...? When the sentence before that states:
Many skeptics maintain that the history of psi experiments continues to repeat itself—one experiment produces successful results and appears to prove psi’s existence, but then replicability becomes a problem as holes are discovered, the method is improved, the experiment is redone, and the traces of psi disappear.

What, am I reading incorrectly?

Yeah I think believers could say that too, but they are more apt to cite the long list of studies which have found evidence of blatant psi phenomena and yet have not been able to be reproduced by other independent parties.

I admit my text may be a bit convoluted here... maybe I didn't get my point across clearly. I'm confused about exactly what you're asking. At least I have my good looks to get me by. ;)

Good Lord, Cantata. Can't you wish anybody a Happy New Year before you start throwing that skeptic report in everyone's face?

New Year's Eve, Cantata. What did YOU do tonight? I hope you tooted some horns besides your own.:rr:

Oh, really? Who removed it, Suezoled?

"Kindness"?? When the hell has Claus Larsen ever shown kindness towards anyone?:rm:
