    Although I have opinions, they are subjective. I suppose if one were so inclined, he or she could evaluate similarities in grammar and language if it were that important. However, I just look at the quantity and quality of questions from any individual participant regardless of how people are labeled here. If I see a question that actually addresses the scientific issue or the real dynamic of the debate about AGW I try to answer it as objectively as possible.

    However, I've been coming to this forum for eight or nine years and I will say that although this category of Y/A has had its ups and downs, the current caliber of questions is at the lowest ebb I have ever seen it. I honestly believe that the personality conflicts among the regular participants along with the out of the blue newbie and ongoing repetition of questions that have been asked literally hundreds of times here and elsewhere clearly dominate and undermine virtually all serious issue-related discussion and debate. While I used to come here at least once a day and sometimes more, now I tend to check in every few days to see if there is anything other than backbiting going on. Every now and again there is a surprise.

    Could be anybody. The internet is a smorgasbord of anti-science crapola denying the century of climate change science. Copy-paste-fake-questioners are a dime a dozen. Yahoo's staff is looking for lifeboats; paying attention to the long neglected YA backwater is not on the last string water boy's to-do list.

    But whose hands (or should that be claws) are operating the sock puppets?

    Is Donald Sutherland involved somehow? (waits to see how many get the reference ...)

    Mike apparently was given a few days off from his job of asking pointless questions, or it would be him.
