		<description>Hey, Phil, thanks for the props here and on my site as well. Obviously, I had a wonderful time last year, and hope to see you all again. Why? Because skeptics are sexy. And because I enjoy being mistaken for you by stoned conference goers.

Your fellow bald guy in a purple shirt,

		<description>&quot;There’s still so much to do, so many things we need to help others about. What TAM does for me, as I’ve said many times, is breathe new life into me. It gives me the motivation I need to continue on this journey, which is fraught with frauds, liars, hoaxers, well-meaning but misguided people, and of course hundreds of millions of people who are all too willing — and sometimes even eager — to give them their say.&quot;


For some reason the irony cracks me up that at your core, you&#039;re no different than the evangelicals out there promoting their cause.  :)</description>
