How about if we make it obvious that it was a joke by signing it -The Pods or -The Frawd or something?


Yes, like when I insert a comment from Pseudo Dunamis.

Pseudo Dunamis: The mods on this board don't need any help from board nannies like you. Move along, LSD.


I love "Pseudo Dumanis", Jersey Girl! But "Pseudo Dunamis" is definitely uniquely YOU! LOL

Like I said. I did email them about this in a very polite and professional way. No accusatory tone or anything.

It seems I was ignored.

I have also asked about this online several times. You would think that those who wish the site to be accurate and wish to avoid all appearance of deception would be personally interested in seeing this removed or reworded or backed up with a scientific reference.

But this site has been so effective. My brother in law actually counter my claim that horses in the Book of Mormon was a problem by claim that new discoveries provided evidence supporting Book of Mormon horses. Turns out he got that information from the FARMS site.

It did it's job!


I don't know why you & Scratch are so intent on beating "The Dead Horse". It's been dead for couple Eons, verified by fossil records. You know this, DCP knows this.... What is new?

You try to corner DCP rock & hard place, he's too slippery. His survival on this harsh media for so long is a testament in itself.

You go! DCP!, With a horse or without.

And the dead horse is apparently still doing its job. Wow! Talk about slippery!

Mr. Nephite Ed should thank you for resurrecting him once again, Brother Q!

It might take quite a number of those small ancient horses. With a large enough herd, and one of those ancient chariots the go part might indeed be feasible.

If the horses weren't riding ceremonially in the chariots already...

Remember that the chariots had no wheels. Just saying.

How could I have forgotten that in Nephite times chariots were sledges! Doh!
