You mean I didn't hit the 'c' key hard enough when typing and didn't
bother switching to german-postfix mode to put an umlaut over the 'o'?
I'll admit to being an inaccurate typist and to not bother with careful
proofreading of responses to people like you. But your 'fraud' comment
would leave any of the people I've worked with or gone to school with
quite literally rolling on the floor, laughing their asses off!

You obviously aren't careful. You also don't know how to COPY & PASTE.

LOL. I didn't "copy and paste" because I don't have to, and there is no
reason to be "careful" regarding typos in usenet posts.


Sure, if you have nothing to say. But it's an insult to your readers.


What a hypocrite! All you do is "insult your readers"!


I don't insult anyone. I just tell the truth.

No, you are the only fraud: "Government scientists who have been
tracking the phenomenon they call Colony Collapse Disorder were
skeptical, however, saying the parasite had been an early suspect in
the bee die-off but that they had concluded it probably was not
responsible. "

You didn't even read the article, obviously.

Obviously I *did* read the article, which is why I wrote "might be
responsible" instead of "is responsible." Unlike you, apparently, I
read it to completion, the last few sentences of which contained the
following statements:

It is possible that a more virulent strain of Nosema ceranae
has evolved in the United States, but Pettis doubts it. "We
can't rule it out completely,'' he said.

Evan Skowronski, senior team leader for biosciences at the
Army lab and a friend of DeRisi's, said that because the stake
are high, every important lead in the search for the cause of
the honeybee deaths needs to be pursued.

"We're not ready to say this is it, but it is a pathogen of
interest,'' he said.

Skowronski said there is no reason to think that the cause of
Colony Collapse Disorder is "anything other than Mother
Nature.'' However, he said that any natural threat to
honeybees has major implications for the United States. "This
needs a high level of attention,'' he said.

DeRisi agreed that more tests will be needed to prove or
disprove the parasite's role in the disappearance of the bees.

"In our results, the control bees did not have it, and the
sick ones were loaded with the stuff,'' he said. "It is going
to take a lot of time to figure out.''

Now, how about explaining where your cell phone towers come in. :-)


That's your area, so you claim.


Huh? I never claimed to be a biologist,


You said it's just a matter of physics.

but you posted articles
touting this "cell phone towers bad for bees" thing. Now, care to
explain why your sources didn't mention all the other more plausible
explanations?

--
I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of!
