All I have to go on is a Web site peddling a refrigeration device,

All you saw was an easy target for your troll

strangely void of any claim to pump any actual quantity of heat,

actually it was there, you didn't see it

and specifying current in units of charge.

The "amp-hour/day" spec is perfectly correct as you know; you're too
stubborn to admit your blunder.

....

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.

I'm sorry - I though you claimed you had a PhD. I guess I was mistaken.

People like you will mock others for being
uneducated simply because they are in a dispute,

I mock you because that seems to be your modus operandi. Might I
repeat once again, your first post in this thread included the words
"fraud" and "nutcase." I've been posting here for years - show me
another person I've mocked (not counting, of course, jax or bobsprit).

and then when some such
other turns out to be educated, you mock him for that, as you have just
done.

I mock you for bragging about your alleged degree, not for the
possibility that you were educated. For the last 40 years I've
studied and worked with the brightest of the bright - not once has any
of them claimed that they must be right because they are a doctor.

I hope you get over your phobia of PhDs,

Phobia? Is this your diagnosis, Doctor?

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.

Of course, you have no idea what my level of education is.


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.

I haven't tried to disguise my persona: Jeff is my real name. I've
frequently published pictures of my boat and discussed my home port.
If you go back a little ways you can find my email addy. I just don't
see the point of publishing my home address and phone number in a
usenet forum.

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.

You seem to know a lot about faux personae. I wonder what the real
Richard Finch would say about that?
