            yes. its now a quote on the site. profound man. wonder if he knew what he had unleashed? the consequent ramifications of the entire project. the invention of a doomsday clock. nuclear proliferation treaties, fear, deterrence. the fact that in the almost seventy years since that test that bomb was only used twice. thankfully. to keep peace by the use of fear...odd concept. one that words apparently. yet so tenuous. and now that bomb and the technology lies in the hands of people who wouldnt think twice about what oppenheimer said.

                              MadDoctor, everyone has their own approach. What I do is search the thread first to see if it's already been posted. If it has, I don't re-post it, because this thread is so long already that I don't want to bulk it up with repeats -- unless new comments have been added; then maybe I'll post it as an update. (The Forum search function is at top of the page while you're in the Forum thread you want to search. It works best if you search for just one distinctive word, not a phrase.)

                              Anyhoo, that's just my preference; it's not a rule. I could easily see it the way Oddcouple does, because this thread is so long that nobody is going to read the whole thing all at once. And on the third hand it doesn't really matter, unless Forum threads have a post limit. Hmmm, I don't think they do.
