Now - I have come up with some more ideas for questions and material for
the FAQ. However, I will need some imput on this. If all of you could
think back to when you first joined the list and maybe post a few
questions/terms that you weren't familiar with, that would be helpful.
I have come up with a few things that I think would be good to add to the
list by observing over the last few months things that people seem to have
questions on. One thing I noticed that people are unfamiliar with is
logic terms (ad hominem, inductive validity, deductive validity) etc, so I
thought I might add a section on that. I'd like to have a list of logic
terms that are used so I could define them briefly in the FAQ. Hopefully
Michael Fisher will have time to send me a list, since his postings
include alot of these terms (logical fallicies) etc... I have also
thought about adding a section about how to post a coherent argument. I'm
not quite sure if I should do this, or if I should point the FAQ reader to
the talk.origins page
http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/faq/archive/talk-origins.welcome.html
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-welcome.html
discussing this... I have found these pages to be a good intro to things
that should be expected in a rebuttal to an argument...
Anyways, all imput is appreciated. Thx.

Dilbert: "I've identified the brain chemical that controls happiness. And
I found the exact mix of fruit and vegetable juices that stimulate its
production. Do you realize what this means?"
Dogbert: "Yeah. Fruits and vegetables will be banned by the government."
FBI Guy #1: "We're the government. We came to confiscate your so-called
'Happiness Drug'."
Dilbert: "It's not a drug! It's just a mixture of fruits and vegetables
that makes you feel happy! You can't outlaw good nutrition!"
FBI Guy #2: "Hmm...I guess that wouldn't make sense, would it?"
FBI Guy #1: "Ignore him. He's a new guy. Erase all the formulas for
making your 'Happiness Potion' and we won't jail you."
Dilbert: "Okay, Okay..."
FBI Guy #1: "You citizens only have the right to PURSUE happiness -
you're not actually allowed to BE happy."
