- I don't know Jim Merritt other than through his postings here, and it's
- unlikely that I will ever meet him. It's even possible that when I do I will
- think he is a pompous ass.
- Ass, pompous, or whatever, I have found his postings, while occaision-
- ally somewhat long and/or vitrolic, to be logically and scientifically correct.
- While occaisionally somewhat simplified, his postings are generally factually
- correct, which I hold in higher reguard than his mode of expression.
- When I feel Merritt doesn't speak for me, I'll be sure to let you know.
