Now to my reason to post. I currently know where to acquire a tree trunk about 6 or 7 feet tall and 5 or 6 feet wide. Are there any tree ring scientists or the like that I can approach with this as to examine the growth cycles with recorded weather reports for the 4 corners area. This trunk was cut down last year.

Damn you Sir! I insist that you retract your statement grouping me with the fake hunter / scientist / jennifer. There is no bloody way that I could be considered a “true believer”, you only need to go back through my other (admittedly sporadic) postings on this site.

Actually, I’m slightly at a loss as to how you came to include me with such undesirable company. My first posting in this thread, accusing the fake hunter of failing the Turing test (ie being a bot-like response that could in no way be mistaken for having human intelligence behind it, a la “eliza”) should surely indicate that I’m not a follower of said person/bot. Indeed, I’ve taken it to task in the past for its apparent failure to understand the difference between feedback and amplification.

Rant over.

After posting a rather snarky response to “Stevo” it did occur to me that he might have been accusing me of “failing the retard test” as a backhanded complement, ie that I’m not a retard… If that was the case I apologise wholeheartedly and can only say that the whooshing sound as it went over my head only became apparent a bit too late! (Maybe it was a very scraped pass).

Thanks. I’m glad to hear it. You however, I assume, have passed it and are therefore a genuine, qualified, certificated, retard.

Have a nice day.
