I am posting modified versions of the WP article both here and in the Norwegian WP - because I, in my article Ormus matter, classify the field as a protoscience. It was strange to see that the thorough Pseudoscience discussion doesn't mention protoscience at all. I suppose it is mainly needed as a defense against the bloodthirsty WP hounds when they cry "Pseudoscience! Delete!". (As they cried while I in vain tried to plead protoscience status for my Ormus matter article there) Olav Næss 10:00, 6 April 2007 (CDT)
