You see, I beg to disagree..., and here is why:

One of the key criticisms of the Internet is that it promulgates more fiction, errors, and lies than facts and truth. Some you can debunk with solid engineering expertise, some you can't, because they are 'urban myth', which can't be traced back to the original facts.

Brian's article has the same 'fiction', discernibly caused by his limits with foreign languages. And while it was originally a magazine article, it's now on the internet, part of the huge pile of half-truth. And to curtail such half-truth I will continue to name it where I find it.

And as this is not a court, I will not enter into any discussion as to why I call it fiction. I've seen the evidence, and that's good enough for me. If that it is not good enough for you, tough luck as it is not my problem. The evidence is out there, so be my guest, go and find it, and look at it yourself. If I can do it, you can too (provided you speak the language, of course). I do NOT own a justification in any form for these statements.

The other aspect is, of course, that there is no absolute truth, and a mere translation from one language to another alters the truth as terms are not identical across all languages. Thus, anything put into writing, but all the more so where translated, is fiction to some extend.   :laugh:

And if you want to call me liar, be my guest, just another bit on the pile of internet fiction.   :laugh:

I explained why his request is completely unreasonable, and not one of you has advanced an even half-practicable solution that would suggest his request is technically feasible. So, whatever you say, it's unreasonable because it's not practicable.   ::)

It is not for us to provide you with anything so please do not try  to deflect Brian's request in that way. You are the one who made the accusation that his writings are incorrect therefore the onus is on you to provide the evidence.

If you choose not to that is your choice but we can then only draw one conclusion  and that is that Brian's accounts are correct as we have no evidence to contradict that view .

There's an old English saying that summarises this discussion well:

Waldschrats has cast doubt on the accuracy of the Egger-Bahn / Jouef articles researched and written in good faith by Brian and which were published over a number of months in 009 News. It is alleged by Waldschrat there is some fiction in these articles which he is unable or unwilling to substantiate and rather than be brushed under the carpet into PMs I would argue it behoves the accuser to publicly prove his point or apologise to Brian for publicly casting assertions on the accuracy of his work.   

Currently, as things stand if this was a court of law Waldschrat would be laughed out of court and Brian would be exonerated.  Brian's good name is at stake here and Waldschrat should either be much more helpful in pointing us in the direction of where his evidence lies or he should apologise to Brian for alleging his work is partly fiction.  As Blair puts it and as I nearly put it in an earlier email Waldschrat should put up or shut up and you may wish to consider barring him from this forum until he either does put up or apologises.

I would also add that the reputation of the 009 News is also at stake here for publishing Brian's work as a piece of serious research when according to Waldschrat it is partly a work of fiction.
