I can't help noticing that some members post a lot of pictures which are large and take a long time to download. I use the old fashioned system and the downloading of the pictures interfers with my ability to read the posts. It is very annoying. Also, other members repost these pictures in quotes in order to reply. That is very annoying.
In addition the posting of large bodies of text underlined or italicized is irritating. It would be better to make a short one line statement and post a link. I find precised paragraphs of what are in effect long journal entries on linguistics, genetic results and various archaeological findings to be out to mislead or misrepresent the writers of that article for some agenda. A short statement and a link would be better. I can make up my own decisions as to the value or usefulness of the research and its conclusions.
Rules on the amount of pictures posted and the amount or text that is posted at one time should be enforced. Otherwise I will not bother to read or look at the pictures.
Coon is fine, but try to use up-to-date research. The 1930s was a long time ago and Coon's methods flawed by contemporary standards.
