Nonsense. Everything I write on the Internet is meant seriously, even the jokes.

If you want to be taken seriously tell us who you are. If you don't want to be taken seriously then carry on as you are and we'll continue to regard you as the crackpot.

This is the internet. Regard me as you wish, because its irrelevant.
IT IS relevant when you're asking us for our opinion/help.

BTW, my opinion is that you are a trolley troll troll.

ummm, luckily I can laugh at myself... rgr is a US republican, I am many things but thankfully neither of those!!!

And some of you are pretty annoying at times, but I am a forgiving person.

Keep the hate coming guys,, I know you Left-green types are filled with it :lol:

Didn't RGR send some papers to Vortex? Vortex seemed pretty impressed with them, I think,
Not quite what happened.

Some time back RGR made a vague passing reference to something I, by chance, recognised.

I already knew that he was one of a small group of people and this slip allowed me to work out who it was.

He is a real person with real experience and real published papers.

Did I enjoy reading them - or even understand them - maybe not.

Do I agree with his stance? On a global, long term level - maybe.

On a local short term level - no.

The UK certainly faces a hard energy future.

Do I like the way he storms around the Web in his black cape and Zorro mask? Well, everyone needs a hobby!

Vortex, could you do us a huge favour and explain/provide links to what exactly RGR is saying? I am still confused after 7 pages...

For once I agree with you. Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special olympics; even if you win, you're still retarded.
