Radsafe:
While this board is mainly made up of health physics "professionals", some
of 
whom might even feel some small degree of amusement with the sentiment borne
of  whimsy noted above, I suggest the use of ridicule of one's private life
of this type 
is foolish, counterproductive, and even alienating to many of the audiences
we might be trying to reach. 
The journalists, writers, and even antinuclear activists who read Radsafe at
times can only tend to feel 
distanced from information expressed on Radsafe that does not jive with
their world view if they feel the 
Health Physics community holds them personally with such condescension.
