Steven-- Those are nice comments.
Thanks. You're upcoming transition will most likely make you one of the most civilized individuals I know of in Wisconsin.

Mike was a critical person in my life. More than fifteen years ago Mike took the time to fill me in on what was going on over at BLP. One day, during one of our numerous exchanges he mentioned this other weird discussion group infested with posters who hung out on in a place called Vortex-l. It was squarely Mike Carrell's fault that I ended up attaching myself to this rambunctious group of seekers-of-the-scientific-truth. My God! That was well more than fifteen years ago. We had numerous private email exchanges and some enjoyable phone conversations over the span of our long-distance friendship. I regret that we never had a chance to meet in person. We almost did when we were both still on Mr. Krivit's BoD. But life intervened as it often does. One of the unique things about my experience of Mike was how incredibly patient and civil he always managed to remain with no matter who he might have been communicating with, both on the Vortex-l, but also on Luke Seltzer's now defunct Yahoo Hydrino Study group. Peter Zimmerman, one of the most vocal and staunchest critics of R. Mills Hydrino theory and the alleged BLP experimental evidence, an individual who occasionally attempted to patronize Mike over his Mike's presumed ignorance of how institutionalized physics really explained how science works, never once got Mike's ire. Mike just plodded on. Mike always stuck with the facts as he understood the facts to be. Nothing more, nothing less. Nothing personal. Mike once told me he wanted to live long enough just to see "the curtain go up" on what he hoped would be BLP's ultimate accomplishment and gift to the planet. I'm sure he felt the same way about CF as well, though clearly his favorite poster child was BlackLight Power. I like to envision that Mike is currently spending some of his now copious free time pretending to be a fly-on-the-wall over at BLP's labs - and probably over at Rossi's establishment too. He certain deserves a front row seat. Mike was one of the most civilized individuals I ever had the privilege of meeting, and I will miss him.
