I must admire Frank Le Fever for his untiring work here on the net to
disclose misconceptions, hallucinations and fraud. I am sorry that I do
not find the time to take part; the students in my university generate
enough questions /y'all know: one lunatic can ask more than ten wise men
can answer). The logic behing the Kandell-Krebs mystery is wonderful.
Thank you for being the one teacher for this wild bunch! (and of course
I am serious, though some times this does seem like a serious forum at all)
