    This board is driving me nuts with it's smart-ass quotient at the moment.

    There is of course nothing new under the sun - so no points for that.
    The concept meme was introduced simply to draw attention to the evolutionary
    metaphor shared between ideas and genes.
    Meme, banana, idea - who cares - the key is evolution from the complex mass
    of simplicity.

    The other thing driving me terminally nuts, is the amount of space given
    over to "god" and the fact that evolution as a concept has to start at
    ground zero in every thread. I was hoping for interaction with grown-ups
    with some base level of common ground, but we're still in that 2000 year old
    Catch-22.
    I suspect this may be my last contact with MoQ.
    Bye folks, life's complicated enough.

    Ian
