Oh, dear, how silly of me. Imagine confusing "ion plasma vortices"
which create crop circles as claimed by Levengood et al, and the much
more rational "ion plasma vortices" which create earth lights.

Even *I* should have been able to tell the difference!

... and I look forward to reading such!

But again, I apologize (see, Paul, I *can* do it!) for thinking that
one mysterious natural phenomenon could in any way be equated with
another.

I will hold my turnip in high regard forever.
