Forgive me but I thought this list was a professionally oriented one. The recent personal attacks by Dr. Eberhard W Lisse on the doctoral candidate in New Mexico and his department (Agriculture & Home Economics) is hardly necessary, is it? Why cannot a person have an opinion and list it here and have it debated? Let's leave the personal attacks out what do you say?!!!Oh by the way, in Alabama, USA our pigs can not only fly & sing, but also whistle "Dixie!" ;)

Right! There you have it.
Pigs in general don't sing. They don't usually fly either. So your efforts are as wasted as your postings.
And why don't you take your frustrations out on some undergrads, who have to listen?
