Dear Dr. Tara,
Congratulations! You're in good company at ScienceBlogs... or more to the point, it's ScienceBlogs' great good fortune to have snagged you as a contributor.
Yours is one of the most interesting, intelligent, and graciously moderated blogs around -- don't ask me how I know; just rest assured 
.
If it's a wider audience you wish for... brace yourself!
On another note, I was surpised and pleased to learn that Dorion Sagan and Eric D. Schneider, on their "book tour" blog for "Into The Cool" [http://www.intothecool.com/blog/)], reserve their ire for Creationist [i.e., Scriptural Theistic] ID.
Set and subset.
No, not "sect" and "sub-sect"!
I've already bookmarked Aetiology's new coordinates. See ya @ ScienceBlogs.
Congradulations. Your posts are a joy to read and merit a wider audience. Keep up the fine work.
Congratulations! (I just sent you an e-mail saying the same, since haloscan wasn't responding)
Thanks! And see, not having to deal with haloscan is just another bonus.
Doesn't sound like that good a deal to me. Because everything is hosted under their domain, you lose the ability to ever move the site somewhere else - sure, you can move the content, but the accumulated links, etc. are also important.
Congratulations!

Hello,
Did you watch the video on MESA? Has it invaded your area yet? It is here and spreading fast. It killed more people than aids last year and is coming faster. Here is the video again. Spread the news to your local news.

This is so crazy. There is a cure from the poor country of Georgia (in eastern Europe). Dr. Felix d'Herelle, a French/Canadian was summoned to Russia to help troops there. He settled in the country of Georgia. Dr Zemphyra Alavidze and Dr Amiran Mei Pariani from the Institute of Bacteriophage Tbilisi are using this to help their people. They also call it phage medicine. Spread the news. Colloid silver cured a pin head break out on me. Jack and Jamie have it and their boys seem okay.
Send this information to any and all who might help. Do not delete. This video may disappear at any time. Email this to all you know.
More confusing news for you and your bloggers.
No one seems to know the origin of Morgellons. Here is true suffering and a cure would be the greatest discovery of this century.
RON POGUE AND MARK BOESE, Tulsa Police Crime Lab
From ABC PrimeTime - Aug. 9, 2006
Forensic scientist Ron Pogue at the Tulsa Police Crime Lab in Oklahoma checked a Morgellons sample against known fibers in the FBI's national database. "No, no match at all. So this is some strange stuff," Pogue says. He thinks the skeptics are wrong. "This isn't lint. This is not a commercial fiber. It's not."
The lab's director, Mark Boese, says the fibers are "consistent with something that the body may be producing." He adds, "These fibers cannot be manmade and do not come from a plant. This could be a byproduct of a biological organism."
Life with Morgellons Disease
Imagine living with constant crawling, itching and biting sensations.
Imagine having skin lesions, some small and superficial, others deep non-healing wounds, which break out all over your body and extrude strange, unidentifiable fibers.
Imagine that you have experienced such cognitive and neurological decline that you are no longer able to work.
Imagine that several of your family members have come down with the same symptoms.
Imagine that you are afraid to visit your friends, hug your children, sleep with your spouse because you are concerned about spreading this disease.
Imagine watching your children suffer from a disease that is not recognized and has no known cure.
Imagine going to your doctor for help and being told that your symptoms are purely psychosomatic.
Imagine feeling so physically ill, and feeling so completely alone and abandoned by medicine...
This is the reality for thousands of Morgellons disease sufferers.
Here are some accounts written by people who have been affected by Morgellons disease:
Robert, New York
I have heard about your Morgellons Research Foundation from a TV program on CNN. I think my son Robe
Robert, New York
I have heard about your Morgellons Research Foundation from a TV program on CNN. I think my son Robert had the symptoms of Morgellons.
My son Robert was born December. He moved to Sullivan County, New York State and began his life. He bought an abandoned church in Mountaindale, New York and began his career as an artist and sculptor. He developed Lyme Disease. At that time no one in this area knew much about it and it was sometime before he was treated with intravenous antibiotics. His symptoms disappeared and his health appeared normal. After about a year, his symptoms reappeared and once again he was treated and his symptoms disappeared. Because of the debilitating nature the of Lyme Disease he had to give up his plumbing business. He then began working for a rehabilitation center where there were mostly young adults involved in drugs. After six (6) years he was promoted to Director.
About this time, he began noticing small particles moving under his skin through his hands and fingers. The particles were forcing themselves through his skin on his nose, fingertips and laterall over his hands. He began to notice the particles in other parts of his body (chest, nose, ears). The pressure of these splinters were extremely painful.He could not perform his duties and was forced to resign his position. He decided to alleviate the pressure by softening his skin. He used many creams, covered his hands with tight plastic surgical gloves but nothing helped. He had biopsies on his skin in the chest area. Thankful all were negative for cancer. He decided to soak in warm pressurized water. He purchased and he installed a Jacuzzi tub in his bathroom. He spent hours in the water and the rushing water pressure softens his skin and literally millions of these splinters came out of his body. He captured some of them with a tweezers and began looking at them through a very professional microscope. He took pictures of the splinters and he put them in his computer. He tried to show them to the doctors but not one would look at the photos. They thought his problems were mental and prescribed anti-depressants to help him. Needless to say, they did not. He was very discouraged. He did not know anyone else with this condition. The splinters were like strings piercing his skin. He thought he would die.
I do not think it necessary to tell you about the depression and anxiety this caused him and his parents. Robert committed suicide on August 14, 2006 the day we heard of the research foundation.
