I may write a lot on occasions, but then again I have a lot to say when it comes to expressing myself on various matters, and when the situation warrants it.

Carl, I have enjoyed and no doubt will continue to enjoy many posts you have made in all manner of threads. But here you seem determined to "win" and I just don't get it. You talk about having an opinion but in your passion you have sidelined others with opinions, perhaps totally unintensionally. As you keep reminding us you are the scientist here and I get impression we are being lectured to and I simply don't like it.
The last thing I want is bad blood here as we are all brought here by our enjoyment and love for this great hobby. If I may, I will agree to disagree with your views contained in this thread.
This thread started with an intentional double meaning that only pointed to a couple of links, it has probably achieved what it appears to have set out to do. The thread author tried another similar double meaning designed to draw in both sides and Mike was quick to nap that one in the bud.
To the thread starter, I say this, research your stuff (you haven't) and you will see much of that is just hand me down stories, years old, old hat and largely yawned at. Seems I touched a raw nerve with the CAPITAL LETTER reply you originally posted - after your derogatory remarks about the late great Carl Sagan then I'm glad I did.
I am not an expert in anything but I do have lots of life experience and believe me that is as good and as standing as any degree anyone will ever get anywhere.
