Nice to see you back in the sand box, Jones. I wuz beginning to get concerned that you may have been abducted by aliens... perhaps for consultation purposes concerning your legal expertise on human affairs. Rumor has it that the Pleiadians and Zeta Reticulians are sparing over the possession

Mr. Catania, What I found interesting about latest reply was the fact that you did nothing more than restate your previous comment, basically that the effects of thermal inertia in the recorded measurements have not been accounted for. Meanwhile, Mr. Rothwell replied to your original comment by

Hello again, Mr. Catania, I realize I'm just as guilty of using this term as you, but IMO the continued use of the phrase, thermal inertia to explain the interesting thermal temperature changes tends to confuse the issue more than it helps. Technically speaking, what's happening here has little

Some would like to characterize Krivit as a snake. Rossi, particularly. In my view Krivit is simply a cynic. Being a cynic is neither good or bad. It's what one does with one's innate sense of cynicism that determines whether honoring such a perception of their surroundings serves them (and
