I used qualifiers for accuracy sake to indicate I did not have a factual basis for my supposition other than your behavior here which is obvious to all. I apologize if Grondines inaccurate rants have influenced my memories on your history. I thought you left NASA during Goldin's cutbacks, but I am quite certain EP has made hay out of this a number of times and may have influenced my memory. I would never have conciously repeated EP's nonsense without verification, but I may have succumbed to endless repetition. I will not make such a comment again and apologize for doing it this time.

You on the other hand are getting rather grondinelike in your "because I say so attitude". You and I were on quite friendly terms until I dared to disagree strongly with you publicly. I would prefer we return to those earlier days when you contributed details of substance and valuable links but have no tolerance for the assinine attitude you have evidenced lately.

If you are capable of doing something besides taking cheap pot shots at others then do so. You have not provided much evidence of such capability on this board in a long time and I no longer have any regard whatsoever for your personal opinions. Getting flamed by you is fast becoming as much an honor as getting flamed by Barry or EP. Adults handle disagreements without rancor, kids throw hissy fits. I would have gladly accepted civil correction from you and apologize for my error in describing your relationship with Marc, but your response was ridiculously antagonistic over such a minor error.

Again Grow up
