The Thimerosal post could be considered an example of agendafilter, yet the resulting thread is a thing of beauty. Reasonable and enlightened discourse at its sunshiny best. See? We CAN have nice things!

I wish I could tell, but for some reason, everytime I try to load the thread, it fails to completely load, and locks up Firefox, forcing me to quit and relaunch.

It's probably the presence of thimerosal that's crashing your browser.

Or some sort of conspiracy to keep me from learning the truth.

Your tinfoil hat is miscalibrated. Please iron it flat and re-crinkle it.

Far from a thing of beauty, that thread is a thing of tin foil hat badness - a melange of misinformation, fear, and wackiness, the only thing it lacks are the mysterious, alien, anal probings.

Agreed. Cheers for docgonzo, grouse, digaman, autismdiva, theora55, and even spock. Others too; still reading.

I'll be right back. I need to go draft a 15 page comment about proper fpp etiquette and then relentlessly defend it here ad nauseum.
