text: Interesting observation. \nI would quibble that these folks who constantly cite some Biblical or Koranic verse as "proof" of their positions or opinions are poor, literal-minded saps who think their fairy tale is the bestest of fairy tales. \nFrankly, while the Internet is a great media for community-building, it is not, and probably never can be, very good for obtaining "facts", since any search (Yahoo, Google or other) is likely to provide both genuine information and apocryphal doodoo masquerading as the straight dope.\nThus, while I too find those quotatious responders curious and perhaps pathetic, the very presence of the\n "Know your source? List it here:" \nbox on the response page is an invitation to the practice.\nI do hope we won't start believing that the Internet is our new Holy Book, but we probably will (sigh). \n\nAfter all, it's already capitalized.
