New Waste of money
Better spent on space telescopes and saving Hubble. Self-evident.

(BTW, I find it hilarious to find you taking me to task on a question of science. I had forgotten 100 times more than you'll ever know ages ago.)

I think I'm done with this board. I'm sick of you people.

New Take some time off, but please come back.
You know we enjoy teasing you. :-)

I think we've all learned a lot from you. Don't take our disagreements for lack of respect or affection. This would be a very boring place without you.

Cheers,
Scott.
