VANCIL: I gather from what you wrote...if MI had existed before the greenhouse was thought of it would have fallen under the MI label...
COWING: See, you suffer from the same chronic problem as Mark Eby - you just assume things. To answer your question, No.

I find it amusing that you find it necessary to marginalize Mark's role to inflate your own. As far as you or I know Mark could be writing a dozen letters to Congress every year and influencing the funding of NASA and the Haughton-Mars Project.
