Hi Joe, Thanks Joe for taking the time to do such a thorough editing job on Kai’s first pass! I hope that the algorithms look better in the final product than they do in the pdf. My aesthetic sense is calibrated for the LyXLaTeX look - these Microsoft Word/MathType manuscripts hurt my eyes…

Re: [wsjt-devel] Gravitational Waves

Is it "luck" or misinterpretation of what they are actually seeing? There's an implied assumption in the paper that they are seeing gravity waves as though there is no possible other explanation. I'm reminded of what happened in the 80's when universities were claiming galactic gamma sources but

I'm in agreement with Richard and Dave. I am fascinated by this subject and grateful for the additional information. As with anything, the big knob is your friend rather than being mean about it. The "big knob"'l in this case is your delete button. Or, if you have that much angst about Joe,

Re: [wsjt-devel] Gravitational Waves

Hey, this guy is funny. Do you have a lot like him on the list? Putting them on a scene could make a good show... By the way, Thanks for the links Joe. I think many of the list subscribers will find them interesting. Our common passion for scientific discoveries and sharing knowledge is what
