No one likes to get 3 am phone calls and nasty e-mails, as those on our side frequently get from extremists, so we no longer publicize our contributors. That may change in the future if our opponents start to behave in a more mature fashion. Certainly we wouldn’t dream of hassling those who disagree with us that way they have attacked us (which to me reveals the weakness in their position).<BR/><BR/>If you have a look at my old, somewhat amateurish Web site, www.iosphere.net/~tharris, you can see I have been writing about this topic for about 9 years, well before NRSP existed. Of course the non-government, non-industry scientists we work with have worked in the field much longer. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Tom Harris, B. Eng., M. Eng.

You mention that you don't buy all the science and people act as if you're some sort of heretic.<br /><br />now that is groupthink!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
