E.g., you presumably think the "climategate" scientists were engaged in
a "conspiracy" to defraud the public or some such?

No, I just think that some of them were rather dishonest and have
exhibited ethically questionable behavior.

Well, that's pretty watered down. Here is some genuine conspiracy
mixed in with dishonesty and questionable ethics.

This is a nice piece:
"Effort will focus on providing curriculum that shows that the topic
of climate change is controversial and uncertain—two key points that
are effective at dissuading teachers from teaching science."

Ha ha yes I saw that piece too. Does seem to confirm whatBillhas been
going on about! :)

Seems a pittance compared to what the panic-people are getting though,
doesn't it?  Why, Al Gore alone's raked in $100e6.

Sure, but he's doing something socially useful, and the denialists are
simply lying to the public. Admittedly, some of the lies they tell
match some of your misconceptions, so you won't appreciate this, but
back in the real world this is what's actually going on.

Since you are exactly the kind of idiot who regularly posts off-topic
nonsense here, you've got no business telling me that this is an
electronics design group, and it's amazingly stupid of you to react to
my posting corrections to your off-topic nonsense by drawing attention
to the fact that nothing I've designed recently has yet been turned
into hardware.

If someone would buy up some of my excessive free time and occupy it
with the process of turning inspiration into loaded printed circuit

of the day, and the pathetic inadequacies of your opinions on these
subjects.

Since I've been trying to sell my free time since June 2003, and never
got any further than a couple of job interviews, "unlikely" does seem
to be the right word. I can hope that I can do better in Sydney when
we move (in October) but I'm not wildly optimistic,

In the meantime you are going to have to put up with informed
criticism. You might acquire enough sense to begin learn from it,
rather than persistently trotting out the same rubbish that reliably
seduces you, time and time again, but - again - I'm not optimistic.

Better informed than you are when it comes to subjects outside of
electronics - if you were just a little bit less ignorant and over-
confident, you might have noticed.

Try to get it into your head that I don't tell that you are wrong from
some deep-rooted need to insult your intelligence (actually it's you
knowledge that is at fault, but espousing silly mistakes does make you
look stupid), but rather because you have posted ill-informed nonsense
which cries out for correction.

There's no element of role modelling involved. I know stuff in areas
that you don't - you make an ass of yourself from time to time, and I
point this out to the less sophisticated public who might not be
immediately aware of this, and could end up with egg on their face if
they took you seriously.

A role model exhibits behaviour that the target audience ought to
emulate. I wouldn't recommend anybody to spend the time I've spent
acquiring a broad (if patchy) general education. I do it for fun and
it probably counts as a self-indulgence.

Telling people that they have screwed up isn't a great career booster
either. You are getting into whistle-blower territory, which isn't a
good place to be.

You've posted more here than anybody else - 28298 posts so far. Quite
a bit of it has been about electronics, so you may have posted more
electronics than anybody else. Jim Thompson is third, with 17611, so
with only 62% of the posts to start with, to end up ahead he'd have
had to post a much higher proportion of electronics than you do, which
isn't my impression.

By the same token you've almost certainly also posted more off-topic
rubbish than anybody else.
