Thanks
anyway it seems to me that neither me or you
are experts about BH

now
suppose you are the general mameger of LHC

whould you like to take on youself
the full responsibility of the results of the
first full scale operation of the LHC ??
(some peole say
there will be (in that case) noone left to take any resposibility
or anyone left to make any accusations !! (:-)

(i personally and *intuitively* dont thing that our globe will be
swallowed
but there are some interim smaller unpleasant results )

TIA
