Good news
I'm sure that Robert, Justin, and probably most of the people who participate in The Habitable Zone and who have followed the tiresome exchanges will be glad to hear that I'm rapidly losing interest in slapping Grondine around and humiliating him publicly. I apologize if I have offended anyone. As I mentioned on the Flame board, I just got fed up with him running amok here on Space Science with his nutty and often insulting posts, notwithstanding the fact that most people routinely ignore him. I'll cut down on replying to him to, if anything, save Robert some disk space ;-) At any rate, I tried to enhance the posts today with some actual science.
