There is a classic experiment in PSI research that compares the scores
of believers of PSI (sheep) with that of disbelievers (goats).  The
classic result is that sheep tend to score above chance and goats tend
to score below chance.  Both results are improbable.  If added together,
they tend to cancel each other out.

I would be interested in doing an experiment of this form on the net.
We would need a trustworthy skeptic, a program to automatically
score the mailed in responses and a site to run it on.
