If you think things could be better, you can change them.Thanks for not retracting your offer. It'll be great to have someone who can calculate statistics. And I appreciate your suggestions and hope you keep them coming.
I do think it's important to keep in mind the distinction between research and policy change. Doing so may both lessen bias and help keep expectations realistic.
Babble is a collaboration. Things are the way they are not only because of my policies, but also because of what posters post. And even my policies are the way they are partly because of ideas I've had and partly because of suggestions I've received. Multiple heads are better than one. And I can lead posters to water, but I can't make them drink.
