maybe i should change my name? seeing as i seem to be in a robot neighbourhood? robbie would be good...
yeah, i'd like to sign up as well! are we talking about just science skepticism? or can it be pure healthy skepticism about ther things that people claim will work but actually *don't*? 'cause i have rough plans for a nice little article about a marketing scam that has been making its rounds for the last 20+ years...
(just a suggestion: maybe you'd like to get shazz to promote it? shazz has put my A1001854 campaign on the announcement page... it would get more attention that way)

As a long time skeptic (which a friend once confused with septic - until I told him that the only relationship was that the aim of both is to target and break-down SH*TE) I really think that I want to join.
It's important to keep an open mind - so long as it's only open at the top!

As a Scottish Taxi-driver I might be considered over-qualified but I hope you can fit me in somehow.

To arms, to arms!!
Apparently, there is an H2G2 Astrological Society (U191670)
I say that it is our duty to debunk them. Does anyone disagree with me?

Unless someone objects, I propose operation "Serpent-Bearer". Our goal: to convince the members of the "H2G2 Astrology Guild that Astrology is flawed and to ensure that noone else is fooled by their credulity.
Rules: Just one. Don't do anything to get yourselves moderated.
Does anyone object? If not, our efforts will begin at 0:00 Hours GMT on Monday.

swimming sceptical over Personal Space of ( U191670 )
"There is a sceptical '(if it works)' in the side note. They are even stating the concept as a decided faith. I can not see the good ground for an offensive here. And while aware of the faith they will be happy to strengthen this faith by such efforts."
Traveller in Time on his head
"The only credulous remark I see is the 'united friends' banner. I can hardly concider friendship as a credulous concept. Although they guarantee it in error. However I will not try to join them again, I also will not fight them as the concept is hardly in error."
