Got news for you, sparky. Only kooks believe in psi.

 Otherwise, they would have swooped on Randis million by now.

Oh! look... another bug has just crawled out of the woodwork.

 Not used to polite company, eh? All I did was mention that no
one has collected Randis million.

Paranormal groups - polite? That's a contradiction in terms.

And, yes, you did mention Randi's millions - as if I hadn't heard
the tired old jibe for the umpteen millionth time (I think I might
be excused the sarcasm).

Randi is a charlatan. He's not stupid but he IS a charlatan.
he knows as well as any parapsychologist why psi doesn't
work on demand but,

 I see, so, it's repeatable, just not on demand? Maybe if we can
get Mr. Randi to feign disinterest...

I never said it was repeatable. To be repeatable it would have
to be possible to invoke it. Psychics, for all their claims to
supernatural powers, cannot and they are wasting their time,
and their money and sanity, if they get involved with Randi.

thanks to goofballs like you he can

Typical invective, as is usually the case when someone lacks
a  logical argument.

Oh! forgive me for stepping on your sensitive toes but, if you
could pause the whingeing for a moment and read the rest of
my post you might see that it consists of one totally logical point.

sustain his worthless challenge. He doesn't make money
out of psychics - he makes his money out of skeptics.

And this has precisely what to do with the price of tea in China?

It is quite a relevant observation: while Randi and his entourage of
arse-licking sceptics continue to harrass the "psychic" community,
without discriminating between respectable parapsychologists
and believers in the supernatural, scientific progress is hampered.
