I am a web-footed resident of the wet coast of Canada (you've heard of us, of course), was killing time last spring at the Vancouver General Hospital and wandered into the gift shop for some reading material. I found (in of all places, to my surprise), the first issue I had ever seen of the Skeptical Inquirer, had never known this whole world existed around the issues you discuss here and am very happy to have the sources of so much ammunition I have needed for so many years to combat the stupidity and ignorance amongst so many of our population. Especially of the religious and conspiracy theory world, my surprise having been that so many of the same folks are susceptive to both. This site, by the way, I located from an article in the latest issue of the SI.
Cheers
