"It may impede that interaction by adding significant time delay"

If you don't believe me, ask the people trying to remove the heat from the reactors in Japan to just wait for the heat to leave on its own.

Righthaven ought to be scrubbed from the internet like the week-old shit stain it is (bleach comes to mind, most web pages are full of white space anyway).
