Oh dear, that really does prove that without "Links" you are lost. Can't put your point across, without just being plain stupid; can't just talk in a sensible manner, without using a childish, well over the top vernacular, to rant instead of discuss.

Actually, my point was that board life lends itself to a "Link" culture; where people don't seem to have a self generated opinion or "Gut" feeling, about anything any more. They will take ages to reply to a topic, because they are undoubtedly trawling around for some "link" somewhere to refute somebody's own opinion or Gut feeling. The fact that their opinion is placed in their heads, by somebody else's generated "Link" and is therefore not their own at all; seems to be beyond their comprehension. I wonder if , when these people go out, they take a Tablet or Laptop with them ( presuming they go out at all ), so that they can halt any spontaneous conversations they may have; while they trawl around for a "Link" on their little "Puters"............It's rather sad and they need to develop a Character, to be able to stand up an offer a self generated opinion; which perhaps they have through their OWN life experiences, even if ( on a wider spectrum ) that experience / opinion isn't backed up by some boring little statatician; whose created a "Link" for those ( that don't have an opinion of their own ) to refer to. We are Animals, after all, and much of our survival has been down to survival Instincs / "Gut" feelings..........We haven't had time, in many cases, to take our little "Puters" out of their little cases and find a "Link" somewhere to show us the way. fallen-archie's point about the EU was perfectly sensible IMO and I don't see why it couldn't function, with a lot less problems, on the basis He outlined. What is stopping it is the "Little Hitlers" permeating it's ranks, who all want to run things.........to be the "Big Cheeses" and call the shots ( they were probably bullied at School ) and undoubtedly have their "Puters" at hand to give us a "Link" ( which was probably posted on line by their own sidekicks ) to show us why they would be right and we would be wrong. I'd rather make my own decisions in life, right or wrong, than listen to a "Link" somebody else had generated and have THEM potentially drop me in it. Yes, My decisions would be based on a Myriad of facts / figures/ personal life experiences and outcomes OTHERS would have had, in the same circumstances, but I'D decide for myself. They can now train Monkeys to post "Links"..........Imagine making a decision, or backing up your arguement, based on a "Link"............posted by a Monkey.........Oh Dear !!

Anyway, back on topic, there's a good series of articles on the EU here:

My apologies if that offends the superstitious and evidence-dodgers who frequent this forum.

The link below has passed on ! It has ceased to be ! It has expired, and gone to meet it's maker ! It'a a stiff ! Bereft of life, it rests in peace ! It's metabolic processes are now history. It's off the twig, kicked the bucket, shuffled off it's mortal coil, run down the curtain, and joined the bleedin' choir invisible, therefore you can click on it as much as you like, it will not respond. There will NOT be a link on the other end. Apologies.
