Okay.  Don't let the facts...oh, wait...you DID let the facts kick your butt on the way out.

I have fulfilled my quota for entertaining pompous, self-righteous know-it-alls for this quarter.  I'll check back sometime next quarter to see if the light of epiphany has shined on you guys.  Be well and be vigilant.

Some people know more than you about certain subjects.  Deal with it.  Taking a break would be advisable and welcome if the alternative means watching you continue to argue like a six-year-old.  When and if you return, expect to be subjected to the same level of rigor as before.

The only explanation that I can deduce for such a low mission dosage is either it was faked or the equipment was archaic and incapable of measuring accurately exposure in the VAB and cislunar space.

So, given those two options, why is fraud your go-to explanation?
Why is a massive global conspiracy involving tens or hundreds of thousands of people more attractive to you than the simple possibility that the dosimeters were not up to the task?

I mean, it couldn't possibly be that he just doesn't understand the subject matter . . . .

I think that since he also seems to be into the 9/11 conspiracy, he may be too far gone to reason with.

But that would mean . . . gasp, admitting he was wrong about something! :o I haven't read every post in this thread, but has this happened yet, except for minor matters of manners?

That reminds me; the link to the bingo cards is dead.  Has it changed?  http://www.apollohoax.net/bingo/

When the website started getting those 508 errors I deactivated a number of plugins hoping to reduce the amount of resources it was using. Now that we're on the new server and I'm confident that the 508 errors are gone I'll bring back the bingo cards.

I think it would vary, depend on each individual HB's tolerance for having their arse handed to them. Another factor could be how long it takes before they realise they are totally out of their depth in the sheer level of knowledge and expertise here. This forum is unlike others on the web; you simply cannot bluff your way past the experts, they will spot you a mile off.

As ex-military with 20 years experience in the Avionics Trade, I am somewhat disappointed with timfinch. I didn't expect a full blown CT nutcase to come from the ranks of the US Navy, especially a technician working on Nuke subs. Disturbing to say the least.

Hey Gillianren, do you remember that episode of Buffy with the girl who got ignored so much that she literally turned invisible?  I sometimes feel that way with some of these HBs.  At least you got one response.  I didn't even get a nibble for the videos on page 22.  The thing is, you and I were asking a simple question that did not require any technical knowledge - just a little self-examination.  "Aye, there's the rub..."

He didn't technically call us "government schills" or "sheeple", or claim 6 feet of lead would be required, but it's what he implied. So half points for those?  ;)
