i've asked thousands of "times", Frank.

i've never done such, Frank, without stating my reasons in the Science.

i've asked folks to meet with me in-person, as i've explained repeatedly, so
that all questions can be dealt with on-the-spot.

when i've gone to conferences, all i was trying to do was find =anyone=
who'd allow me to discuss my work with them. i've not sought, or expected,
anything more than that. NDT is big. it does require some devoted "time" to
discuss.

you know, you keep saying that, but you've never set out to discuss any of
my "stupid errors". i ask you, and everyone else who cares to to =do= that
without delay.

sadly, there's some of the latter, i admit. when i came to understand what
the understanding was up against, i made a conscious decision to not allow
myself to do anything else until the understanding was communicated... some
parts of me remain as the 15-year-old who made a Promise.

but, as you will quickly discern if you go about anything that requires the
same of you, there's no "shame" in such... just a lot of sorrow.

so tell me, please, Frank, what's your "goal" with all the negativity you're
spreading?

what good and worthy thing are you trying to bring about?

please, i beg you, discuss my "stupid errors". i give you, and anyone else
who wants to, permission to do so mercilessly.
