No apology is necessary. This is an open forum and all opinions should be welcome. As far as I am concerned, every opinion has the right to be expressed and discussed. That's what makes this forum so valuable. We should never fear the free exchange of ideas or opinions nor allow any one (or group) to create an atmosphere that inhibits a question for fear of the response. Had some of the points raised been more familiar to those making comments they would have recognized that some of the points addressed are much more complex that they appear on the surface. For example, depositing a charge of 6000+ micro Coulombs on a semi-conducting propellant sample and holding the charge in place long enough to conduct the experiment is no small trick.
Just one persons opinion.

Until now I have been very impressed with the good manners shown by all the respondents on this site. Even the most naive questions (and responses) receive polite answers, or at worst are ignored. However, the tone of your response to Mr. Taylor seems to heap ridicule on his statements and by implication on Mr. Taylor. I am fairly new on the emc-pstc site, and until now felt safe in asking the few questions I have submitted. By safe I mean I have not feared that I would be "flamed" as if I were an ignoramus or poser asking questions of my betters. Now I am not so sure about how safe I really am. Is this your intent? Shouldn't you apologize to Mr. Taylor (and to the site) and clear the air? Sincerely, Thurman J.
