Larry,

Ribbing and a strong disagreement over GW aside, I think you are a very intelligent person based on the preponderence of your board comments. I certainly agree credentials are important and appropriate for an informational website and would do the same. I was just making my preference for demonstrating competence over claiming it. Any website based credentials are suspect without independent verification as the likes of BD (and some associates) and EG demonstrate. I also agree strongly with Phil that even good scientists and engineers can come to false conclusions easily outside their own field due to a lack of depth of knowledge. It's something I wish you and Phil would keep in mind more often when you so readily dismiss the work of climate modelers. That was also a point I was hinting at.

When it comes to rocketry I assume you know much more than me, but that doesn't stop me from challenging comments that don't make sense to me. I started that with my teachers in about 5th grade and never stopped.

Regards,
Mark
