Jon: <font color="yellow">"Why should we trust you? You have not answered questions, you have dodged issues, you have shown very limited understanding of basic science and technology."</font><br /><br />Although his (her?) research may be incomplete, or interpretted as a lay person might interpret it, pierround has indeed shown links to the quoted work of accredited scientists. I am proud of him for even providing his data-links.<br /><br />Jon, please relax. You are taking the fun out of FUNomena. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Again, Jon, this is not an astrophysics debate, SDC is not a peer-reviewed science journal, it is not a "club" for folks with Phd s after their name, and it <b>IS</b> a free service to <b>ALL</b> who are facinated with Space Sciences and the intriguing nuances of this amazing Universe in which we live.<br /><br />Please lighten up, for my fear is that you will make newcomers (visiting SDC for the first time) afraid to share their thoughts and views. We don't want this, do we Jon?<br /><br />Disagree? Fine. Say so. But you are an "insider" and an educator. To tell someone they have "limited understanding of basic science" might make other readers here think you are trying to <b><i>actuate an agenda to suppress certain notions, ideas, and dreams.</i></b><br /><br />Shame on you. Everyone here knows you worked for NASA on some of the Mars missions. Nobody here wants to believe that you are conducting a one-man crusade to quell "creative" thought and discourse.<br /><br />John Kennedy had "limited understanding of basic science and technology". But without him, we would not be chatting here today, would we?<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
