Hi Tim,

Howdy - how've you been?!

Not bad. Just too busy to spend much time on Usenet these days.

I see you have discovered Little Tommy (The same one I mention in my sig
all the time). He's quite the little kook, almost as much fun as Twonky.
He styles himself as some sort of scientist, but spouts nothing but
meaningless technobabble and bitches at everyone else for not being
scientific enough. He's the classic example of a kid who rode the short
bus to school, but since he once read "General Science for Complete
Idiots" (and understood about 5% of it), he now thinks he is another
Einstein. One look at his truly horrible web shite is all you should
need to see the true depths of his nuttyness. And like all good kooks,
he has a lot of trouble keeping track of who said what. That's why he
keeps claiming you said things I don't see anywhere in the thread. Oh,
and by the way, he's a saucerhead too. Have fun slapping him around. Be
warned though that the little sissy boy will killfile you after a while.
But as stupid as he is, he can't keep track of who he has and hasn't
killfiled. So don't be surprised if after a while he starts responding
to you again.

heh, I took a look at his site and never got past "The cosmos is composed of
compost" or whatever it was.  He seems to like the term optical photons
too - I reckon he's never had a sunburn and thinks he can see IR.

It's just a kooky redundancy like saying "wet water" or "cold ice." Little Tommy just wanted to be sure we knew he was talking about light, and not Gauge Bosons or neutrinos or something else.

He had a nifty "Twonky" meltdown after the hurricane posts.  If someone
wants to claim that hurricanes are more expensive than before, he has the
right metric, but he obviously doesn't comprehend relative and absolute
measures.

Yeah, this hurricane season has the global warming kooks in full froth. They see four hurricane hits on one state in one season as "proof" of something or other. But since it also happened 118 years ago, long before any alleged human caused global warming, I don't see any connection.

 What the hell did these loons do before usenet...

Well, in the good old days, people like them were locked up in insane asylems. Wouldn't it be fun to put Twonky and Tommy in the same rubber room and watch them froth away at each other?
