let him know I've used his "HTML trick", he'll probably remember. . .

anyway, I have to agree the skill he shows in scientific discussion is impressive. It was quite a sight at LPSC32 to how many people he converted. I tried to stay somewhat middle ground and interview a few people walking away form a discussion with him to see what their take on his ideas as 'experts' were and they were thoroughly convinced. all but one Bostonian walked away still argueing with Nick, who had a hardcore beleif in H2O as much as Nick does CO2, and I talked with hm a bit. I am a bit wary of his arguement. His mian point was that "yeagh H20 isn't stable on mars, but, its not stable here either. I don't know how things are here inHouston, but you can prove this most palces by the function of closelines. . .etc. . " He repeated that argument the next day when he spoke.

this really seemed more to do with the vapor pressure of liquid water than it does on what state it is in given temp vs pressure (I used to knwo the name for that chart, man I am slipping). Anyway he was using relative terms and I asked him why aren't they quanitfied. . . but he couldn't give much of an answer as I remember.

anyway. . .
