Hi, Dave. Might I advise you to not spill your energy in a fruitless discussion? Two weeks ago, after a warning on RC Patrol about the insertion of non-mainstream theories by this user, about five editors have tried to talk with him about Wikipedia's policies and his editing pattern; in most cases he simply blanked the challenges (check out the history of his talk page), in other cases he only gave evasive answers. See also here. Subsequently, several editors have taken it upon themselves to fact-check this users contributions and to pull out any unsubstantiated theories — see here. You're welcome to help. — mark ✎ 09:18, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
