This trend of domestic Lysenkoism has been going on regardless of who's in power.

My suggestions: 1. set up a separate page for the seminar -- link to it from the top of CT for as long as it's in progress, if you like. 2. post on that page at a rate no greater than a post every hour or two -- one of the biggest probelms with the current format is that with 8-10 posts on the same topic going up at once, who's going to read them all? Also, when everyone posts at once, you lose the interactivity that is one of the main advantages of the online format. 3. on the seminar page, arrange posts in the usual blog order, with most recent at the top.
