<< Tom, I have to say I'm extremely disappointed and disillusioned hearing
such inappropriate sarcasm coming from someone whose experience,
knowledge and reputation would imply better things. Your disdain of my
regard for Dr. Snow is duly noted. May we now PLEASE bring this back to
the level of a friendly discussion?

Susan,
I apologise. Dr. Snow has a reputation, much of it good. The word "god" is
yours, however. Forgive me if I hesitate to adopt gods. All humans are
capable of error. This certainly includes me. I will, though, reserve the
right to determine what is appropriate in my own expression. I am sorry if I
have offended you. You're tuned in, looking for solid knowledge, and have a
great deal of valuable knowledge already imbedded in your mind. But, to me,
you are still a student, at least in the applied aspects of the things we
discuss here. If you and I were sitting in a room discussing these things, I
would have said precisely what I've said here, and there would be far less
acrimony between us.
The public forum is a difficult one for both of us. We are in the eye of the
camera. Neither of us knows The Truth. In our struggles to arrive at the
truth, through the combat of ideas, we occasionally embarrass ourselves. I
should not have taken advantage--I'm sorry.
