- Can we say "Badge of Honor" ? Presumably I am the "other fellow", in which
- case Mr. Sarfatti has confused my credentials with those of Dr. Johnson.
- For those of you confused as well, Bill Johnson is a PhD in nuclear chemistry
- and works at one of our country's premier national labs. I am a PhD in high
- energy physics, with research experience at CERN, FNAL, and am now working
- on the SDC detector for the SSC. But screw this - if the group is voted for,
- I have agreed to help moderate the posts if it does not affect my real work,
- but I will be damned if I will justify my credentials to every lame brain who
- can't even read the goddamned CFV !
