Er, no, actually. When a debating team finds itself forced to defend an
insupportable position, one of the more common tactics is to simply invent, out
of thin air, sources alleged to support the teams position, in the hopes that
th other team won't challenge them. Derek's nose is out of joint because the
folks in sci.skeptic actually DID challenge his moronic bullshit.

understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below). So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it. If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
