But he does. Of course I am making a bald assertion here because it
implies that his filtering is exhaustive, and I don't see how it
could be. However, it is still thorough in that he consistently and
forthrightly provides information about what the deniers of science
and the political activists for dominionism are saying in sources so
obscure in some cases that a diligent serach might not find them.

This is of value because it allows those of us who are unable to
stomach the direct exposure to these sources to be aware of what they
are saying without expending our limited resources sifting through
garbage.

Recently others have taken up a similar tack and begun quoting
sources that most of us would never consider reading. Or perhaps,
find to read. To them I can only apologize for not giving personal
credit in advance, Spaceman broke the new ground.

So I propose that Js Spaceman should be specifically and prominently
honored for the service he has and is providing on the
talkorigins.org web site. I won't presume to suggest what form such
an honorific should take, but it is my firm conviction that it is
well deserved.

Cheers,

Spaceman does a good service. One problem is that the links get
outdated and you can't find the articles after a while. A lot of the
Ohio news articles quoting the creationist board members from
2002-2003 are gone with the links broken and often those quotes were
not preserved in the thread. We have a fair use problem, but there
should be a means to preserve the articles for reference. I often try
to quote additional pieces that I find interesting, but you can't
preserve the entire context.

Ron,

You are quite correct, so perhaps, it would be an appropriate honorific to
duplicate the cites Js provides on the talk origins site. I am not sure how
this could be worked out in copyright terms because IANAL. But I
considered your point. Another avenue might be to refer to links is the
wayback machine.
