Evidence for pattern development; mulling (Introduction)

We are coming up to the seventh anniversary of the launch of this website, and I would like to think that honest discussion has been the hallmark of all the exchanges between you and me, Tony, BBella, Matt and many others who have been and gone. I doubt if there is anyone who has actually changed their mind as a result of these discussions, but speaking for myself, I can only say that the exchanges have often been stimulating, illuminating, and usually with a tolerant courtesy that I find sadly lacking in some forums. Your presentation of new findings and thoughts is a wonderful source of information and is often a spur to further discussion. And yes, we are just as stubborn as each other. If we weren't, this website would have folded years ago!-I for one am very thankful for the continuing information and discussion on this website. I rarely fail to read them daily. I often find a thought to add here and there but I am finding it hard to form a thought these days when it comes to the abstract. And in some sense...isn't this all about the abstract?
