My info was Research documents of factual experimental data that I DID...you on the other hand...have nothing. NOTHING but copies of other's material. You are a fabricator of lies and thousands of your posts prove it. I will just call you flip flop from now on...You loon. My experience across the board of research in areas have been plentiful enough to fully diagnose you as a Sociopath. Verified by thousands of posts as well. You're a joke.
