Hey Eugen, what the hell happened to you? I've known you for over 10 years
and you never used to be crazy, but then about 6 months ago something
changed and you became nuttier than a fruitcake, you get completely
hysterical and incoherent anytime the word "energy" is mentioned, and I
don't even want to discuss what happens if anyone dares to utter the
dreaded word "nuclear".

And apparently you couldn't take time off from ranting and hurling personal
insults to say exactly what I had gotten so wrong in my post that it was
not even remotely right.

That's nice. So exactly what  had I gotten so wrong in my post that it was
not even remotely right?

I don't know Eugen. So exactly what had I gotten so wrong in my post that
it was not even remotely right?

Sorry you don't like zeros. So exactly what had I gotten so wrong in my
post that it was not even remotely right?

I am pushing a agenda, dastardly international oil cartels and other
worldwide agencies of evil intent on world domination are paying me
thirteen pieces of silver to cause dissension and discord in enlightened
groups like environmentalists and solar energy apostles who only wish to
cause good; and I do this not just for the money but because being a bad
guy is my thing.

Or maybe my agenda is just respect for logic.
