I interpret the message
here to being that John A. Davison has agreed to take part in a discussion with Brad McFall.
Note that this is a side topic to JAD's main topic,
A Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis. Hopefully, this topic will not cause problems by being overly redundant to the main topic.
Guidelines for this specific topic:
1) It is for John A. Davison and Brad McFall only. Other members having posting privileges in the "Showcase" forum SHOULD NOT post to this topic. Any contented posted here by others is very subject to being ruthlessly deleted. Also, Brad McFall SHOULD NOT post to any other "Showcase" topic, including JAD's main topic, unless a change in Brad permissions is later made.
2) I suggest that the non JAD members taking part in JAD's main topic refrain from pulling material from this topic. Let the two topics operate independently of each other. However, as I see it, either JAD or Brad should be free to pull material from the main JAD topic, to be used in this topic.
Brad McFall will be set up to have "Showcase" posting permissions, and this topic will be moved to the "Showcase" forum. JAD can then respond to the content of message 1.
Stand by.
