Welcome to The Infinity Program, a general discussion forum that has been around since June, 2004. As the founder, one of my goals is to maintain this community even as others fall to the wayside. Also, I want to encourage engaging conversation by regularly submitting new topics that contain thoughts and insights rather than just aggregated material. Finally, none of the posts here are the result of “exchanges” or “packages”—i.e., all participation at this forum is “organic.”
If you are a first time visitor and want to know more about this place, read the “Guide,” “A Short History of the Forum,” and the highly entertaining “A Brief History of the Universe.” Along those lines, The Infinity Encyclopedia describes notable members and topics, and notable events of the forum. Alternatively, if you want to submit feedback, contact us.

I mentioned these facts elsewhere because people were baffled as to why Mr. Dodd would make inane statements about criticism of the Stop Online Piracy Act, which critics say will curtail Internet freedom...
