Your constant spamming of this (and other discussion groups) may have gotten you a few hits at your site, but I would bet few return to for a 2nd visit to your self-proclaimed “watchdog” website.

But since you insist of spamming this (and other sites) with every post that you make, let's take a few moments and analyze what it is that you believe you have to offer.

The first thing one notices about your web presence is that you initially attempted to gain some visibility by choosing the name “NASAWATCH”, a name already in use for years by Keith Cowing. It matters not that you chose to use the new TLD .INFO on your site, you chose to “sound-a-like” name because Cowings site is quite respected in the Space Community.

Your site is filled with personal attacks on Keith's website and work. To be frank Mr. Robbins, you're not even in Cowling's league. His site is full of good information. Cowling's site provides REAL Space Science articles, and Mr. Cowings has even broke some stories prior to other media outlets (most notably, he was the 1st to break the story on MGS's evidence of liquid water on the Martian surface). He also is well equipped to write original articles about Space Policy, ie. http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=894 something way beyond your limited abilities.

In contrast, your site has not (and has never) provided one piece of information for the Space Community. From your spams here and other places, it appears that your technical knowledge of Space Science is quite limited, sometimes you embarrassingly fail to understand even the most rudimentary elements of Space Exploration. Of course, you would never ask for help from the folks here who have a much better understanding (and I'm sure would be glad to teach you something) – No, you prefer to see yourself as an “educator”, a “watchdog” who is always more than happy to rant on about things that you have absolutely no knowledge of.

Next, the layout of your site looks like it was constructed by a 9 year old who has been learning HTML for about 3 days. It's pretty pathetic.

Your constant rants about “Space Prizes” aren't even original. Zurbin wrote about them extensively in TCFM. And while there may be some merit in a prize system down the road, I can't see it as feasible that this time (I bet the $10 million X Prize won't even begin to cover Allen's Investment, that is, if he wins it).

Lastly Mr. Robbins, I question whether any of your rants belong in “Space” type discussions at all. Let's face it Mr. Robbins, you don't know a damned thing about Space, NASA, Engineering, or Science in General. It is painfully obvious that most high school students understand the science of Space Exploration much more than you do, and while you may believe that you are doing something of value, the only accomplishment of yours that is obvious is that you continue to make a Complete Jackass out of yourself in the world's largest public arena, namely, The Internet.

I suggest that your posts are much more suited to political discussions where topics like “government spending”, “Pork”, and “conspiracies” are the norm because they have little to do with Space Science, again, a topic which you obviously have little understanding of.

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a fool - Shun Him!
