Who? Me? Krivit is silly about this. McKubre is pretty upset with him though. > In Krivit's mind, Rossi has become a personification of everything > that is bad about the Alternative Energy world.

I guess I would if he attacked me the way he attacks McKubre. I think he is being very silly when he pontificates about theory and promotes the W-L theory. I admire his chutzpah when he gets his views into the New York Times and the ANS, but I also cringe. As I wrote here: "This would be like me singing at the Metropolitan Opera even though I am tone deaf and unable to read music." The way I see it, Krivit is annoying, but you have to annoying to survive in this field. As I have related before -- I was once kvetching to Mizuno about how the researchers in this field are a bunch of stubborn, self-centered stick-in-the-muds. He said, "yeah, we are, but if we weren't we would have quit long ago." Touche. - Jed
