Want to know when we update our site?
Join our mailing
list. Just become a member at the below website, and you'll get
an email every time we update our site! Also, it allows a listserv
discussion group that allows all of us to engage in meaningful
conversation about our favorite subjects.
In using this, you have my personal
promise that your email address will not be used by me for any other
reason at all. That means you'll never get spam from me, and I'll
never send you anything that doesn't directly relate to this
website.
One of my goals for the Skeptic
Report is to maintain a no-ads website. I've been lucky enough so
far that I don't need any extra money that advertising on the Skeptic
Report would provide. part of that is to keep my readers on my side,
and not exploit you for my own monetary gain.
Unfortunately, in signing up for the
discussion group, you need to get a Yahoo ID. I can't speak for
them; they might spam you. In all honesty, I've never had a problem
with that from them.
So, join up today!

We're Four Years Old!
February 2nd, 2001
Four years ago this month, I had an epiphany.
I was walking down High Street, the
main thoroughfare of Morgantown, West Virginia, when it hit me: skeptics
are boring dudes!
With the exception of Penn and Teller
(and the occasionally randy Randi), skeptics are all stodgy, stuffed
shirt, tweed jacket types with blank faces and nasally voices. They
debunk the woo-woo paranormalites with facts and deductive arguments, but
they don't have much of a sense of humor.
We thought it was time that someone
come onto the scene with a BA instead of a BS, with a cackling laugh
instead of a smirky giggle, and with a hairy, hammy fist instead of a
scalpel.
Since I liked sites that were updated
on a regular basis, and since I had recently come into a vague awareness
of the internet, the conclusion seemed obvious.
The Daily Skeptic began, and I
subsequently started making fun of people.
Since then, we've changed servers
twice, changed our URL five times, narrowly avoided a lawsuit, and
hopefully gathered a good group of faithful readers who will stay with us
for the years to come. Thanks, guys. Your complimentary
comments are what keep me going. It's been a labor of love without
making me a single penny, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon.
We're just getting
started.
Send me your birthday wishes!
