Do you think it's "balanced" to misrepresent the statements I made? I
caution you as I did Timo that when you post on the internet there is
an EXACT record of who said what... I pointed out to Fred and others
that "orbits" in general are an out of date theory. Next thing you
know he's trying to point that out to me as if I had said nothing.
Well, yeah, old debating trick to be sure, but with a precise record
it's hard to pull it off effectively.

And I tell you, Andre, I'm not especially trying to be complete. But I
do have a purpose and that is to let some air out of the tires of the
establishment chorus that presents dogma as if it were fact and
speculation as if it were truth. It's a common fault of university
brass hens who get used to the power of the position whereby you can
force students to accept your every word as gospel or they simply
don't graduate or where you can use your power of "peer review" to
keep the topic on the straight and narrow and eliminate any
suggestions that the emperor might be naked. But the Internet is
freedom and they have no power here except to call me names, question
my education and intelligence, and misrepresent what I've said.
Hopefully the lurkers will be smart enough not to fall for such tricks
and will judge my wild pronouncements based upon demonstrable facts.
If they do that, then no matter if I prove to be right or wrong, I
will feel my efforts have been a success. :-)
