- Hi Rich. I don't think I've seen you in these threads before so
- I thought I'd warn you that debating with Yackadamn is like yelling
- at the wall. He's a classic armchair critic who gets all his energy
- information from the Union of Concerned Scientists Book of the Month
- Club. Us regulars over in sci.energy regard him as a sparring partner
- who aids in keeping our debating skills sharp. You'll also note another
- of his tricks and that is when the heat gets too high, he'll redirect
- followups away to some more friendly group and away from the experts.
- So it goes here. I've pointed it back to sci.energy where it belongs.
