- "Maybe somebody should ring these people up and ask them what their current
- position is wrt XS heat."
-
- Did not ring them up but I note that Huggins and Liaw are on ICCF3
- advisory committee. If I thought my previous work was junk, I would
- find it convenient to be somewhere else. (after retraction of course).
-
- A conversation with Tetek at Oak Ridge sounded like Scott had retired.
- So possibly the score is not so bad. Talk a few months back with Oriani
- indicated he was pretty much in a class with me - he had seen enough to
- want to keep working.
-
- It is hard for those who need to keep their jobs and their reputations to
- be one of "all claimed heat in 1989 but haw many of those are still going
- strong now?"
-
- In short, I don't think that normal rules or logic apply when their are
- witch burners looking for victims.
-
- Tenure is supposed to solve this problem, but it does not really. What is
- needed is old age and money. Ross Perot just demonstrated that even high
- office is worth continuously getting beat up by the media. It is not fun
- to have your friends avoid you. (not even high office is worth etc.)
