Well, all right then! I think I may have been the first of many to suggest your name as a solid guest host, though I think it may have been in a different thread (maybe the one dB closed.) Looking forward to that a lot. Again, Godspeed and be well, dB.

I'm not surprised given the treatment he received in the forum. Why run the risk of two hours worth of confrontation? And, there was some tension before with the whole "first copy" of the book thing. I'd like to hear him again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hey, I just thought of a reason it should be Sereda! First name David, six-letter, three syllable last name, even the stress on the second syllable. Bee-ED-nee, Se-REE-duh! You could change all the Paracast ID's from "You're in the Paracast with Gene Steinberg and David Biedny" to "...Gene...

Just adding my voice to the chorus. Thanks, David, for your contributions, your perspectives, your humor, your honesty, and the sharing of your experiences. I'll certainly miss you, but you've got to take care of yourself and your sanity. Come back when the time is right. I'm guessin'...

Paul Kimball would be outstanding, but he's probably way too busy with his own projects. I agree with many of the other nominations put forth but all of them are probably too busy to commit to it every week. On the other hand, a tag-team of a few of the most respected individuals is probably...

I remember a few years ago that Kevin Randle was trying really hard to get some kind of peer review for his great paper on the Mantell case. If I remember correctly, it was kind of frustrating for him.

I was wondering when someone was going to say that! :)

Yeah, I've thought about this a lot and, like you, have re-read the thread a few times. I was tempted to post several times, but you have stated it more succinctly and eloquently. With all respect to Schuyler, I think his original comment was off the mark concerning _that particular book by...

I work with a guy who went to TV repair school right out of high school and he said some of the older techs there had built up a mild tolerance for current. They enjoyed tricking the newbies by touching something energized and then telling them "Go ahead and touch it. It's not hot!" That's...

Well, I guess I was wrong about that, then. Still, if Rich wanted to actually defend his use of this particular book as a source, like maybe by identifying some sections and saying why he used them instead of something else, I'd be willing to listen.

Man, it must be Halloween, or a full moon, or something! The Mac Tonnies Metafilter kerfuffle. Rich Dolan and Schuyler. Paul Kimball and Chris O'Brien in the Zamora obituary thread. Me and everyone else tonight! For that matter, me even trying to argue for anything having to do with Greer...

OK, I just did a very quick look at Amazon. Forced my fingers to type "Stephen Greer Disclosure" and "searched inside the book." Based on a very cursory look it looks like Rocketsauce's take is correct. The introductory paragraphs and what I assume are Greer's words of interpretation and...

Richard Dolan joins the forum and promptly gets into a dustup with, of all people, Schuyler. David slaps Gene down publicly in the forum. Damn! You can't make this stuff up, folks. I've gotta start scrolling farther down the forum lists, that's all there is to it. I'm missing all the...

Me too. Had to turn the bass all the way down and then it was listenable, though not always easy to understand.

My God, David, I just read the whole Metafilter furball. I have never seen anything so cruel, heartless, and inappropriate in my life. Especially to someone like you whose body of work and contribution to the online world deserves respect regardless of agreement. I honestly don't understand...

I can't add anything to the words already spoken. What a tremendous loss to this field and to his friends. Anyone who ever heard him speak considered him a friend. I hope there's some way to get his crypto book published.

I actually thought David sounded relaxed and at ease in the Budd Hopkins episode. He seemed to be having a great time, talking about Anil Gupta and all. I didn't notice anything negative in the Stanford interview until Ray threatened to hang up, and then David wisely held his peace. I thought...

I could be mis-understanding, but I thought jpw.in.wi was paying the hosts a compliment on the respect they showed Mr. Stanford even though he was difficult at times. I can see, however, how David might have thought that jpw meant the opposite. Maybe a clarification from the OP is in order?

Sorry, guys, but I've got to do a little debunking. Indian media has labeled this a hoax. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/61994/Top%20Stories/Tendulkar's+'shell+house'+designs+a+net+hoax.html The house pictured is the Nautilus house, built in Mexico City in 2006 by Mexican...

Yes, I know. I just moved up to Leopard 10.5 as part of a new hard drive install. It broke a bunch of my favorite stuff, including Senuti, Cooliris, and Soundfont Synth. That's a whole other reason to be upset. Yes, I've been able to work around it so far, but I'm just waiting for the 10.6...
