Amazing, isn't it? Can you think back, way back, I know it's a stretch,
back when you were doing electronics, what your impressions were of your
first Tektronix 475? One of the best instruments ever, perfectly good off
the shelf, and worth a bundle, brand new.
I need to reclaim one of those (or is it a 465B ?) from a client I left it
with.

Super kit.

That is a baseless slander.

All I had to do was read your reply James at the botton of the page, to KNOW it
was a post of Sloman's. What is the matter with the man ?

Some residual contact with reality? I'm not less scpetical about John
Larkin's fantasies tha I am about yours?
The only one with fantasies (and they are getting increasingly extreme) is YOU !

You NEED a psychiatrist. Very seriously before you fall off the edge.

I (the company) sold a prototype to a client. We replaced it with a production
model about a year later but let them keep the original which they still have as
it was the first pro-mixer the venue had ever bought.

You ARE indeed quite MAD. It's time you sought treatment. Your detachment
from reality accelerates every single day.

Possibly. But I've got a long way to go before I'm as detached as the
average psychiatrist, let alone you or Jim Thompson, and I'd have to
be much further out of touch with reality than I am now to be silly
enough to consider taking your advice.
SEEK TREATMENT NOW !

It's free over there isn't it ? Show the shrink your posts in the various
threads you've been involved in recently.

John

They probably typed his name into Google, then tore up his
application when they saw what a useless pain in the ass he's become.
Who in their right mind wants to hire trouble, when better people are
available?

There are two kinds of people on this earth:

The crazy, and the insane.

The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.

I have a sister who is basically a psycho bitch from hell. She can't hold
a job, and of course it's always because everybody else at the company is
an asshole.

When people ask her, "So, what's the common element in all of these jobs?"
she gets hostile.

Those people are better left to their own devices, I believe.

Cheers!

Wasn't that the point of the hockey curve papers, i.e they had not been

Steve McIntyre was peer reviewing Mann's work. I think he smelt a rat and
that's why he asked for the raw data which he was refused using dubious
excuses relating to copyright issues.

Somewhere there you'll find the whole story.
I've recently read it.

Now, the question in my mind is whether someone has redone their
simulations and models to account for global dimming? That to me changes
the whole ballgame on climate predictions

science.

Graham doesn't know enough about science to understand this,

Or isn't indoctrinated enough?

Lets face it, when the pope said that the sun revolved around the earth,
just about every contemporary "scientist" agreed that this was true.
What is different now?
Foucaults pendulum

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum

was first demonstrated in 1851, and provided the first local evidence
that the earth rotated. These days there is a lot more evidence
around, if you happen to know where to look for it.

Graham doesn't and is that sense really isn't sufficiently
indoctrinated. Your question betrays a similar kind of ignorance.
