You thought no one would call you on that

All I have to go on is a Web site peddling a refrigeration device,
strangely void of any claim to pump any actual quantity of heat, and
specifying current in units of charge. The guts seems to have originated
from a project GE abandoned over 10 years ago, sponsored by the EPA and
Greenpeace, and since carried on by Dutchmen. No one has "called" me on
anything.

Maybe that carries some weight down in the boonies, but up here
in Cambridge, PhD's from MIT and Harvard are a dime a dozen, and most
who brag about their credentials are considered jackasses.

I didn't bring up the issue. People like you will mock others for being
uneducated simply because they are in a dispute, and then when some such
other turns out to be educated, you mock him for that, as you have just
done. I hope you get over your phobia of PhDs, especially the contempt
for honorifics, because whatever a dime's worth of them amounts to in
your benighted village, such a degree certifies mastery of a field,
often broadly so, and competence to produce original research.

One thing I will brag about, "Jeff", is being honest about who I am.
Posting with a pseudonym is for puny cowards, and women. It is not
respectable, or manly, to boast about "calling" someone, while hiding
under your mother's skirt. But Usenet is to many a game involving
feigned debate, and not a means to help discover truth through debate,
so I don't expect your faux Usenet persona will change.
