Dear fellow meteopticians,
I might be back on friday with some visual stuff to view.
But meanwhile: there has been a few new personal mails
about our discussions.
Prof. Walter Tape in Alaska is following our discussions
and says he is enjoying it very much.
Two Americans and one Finn who all either probably or
explicitly prefer anonymous citations to their mails
confess that they either dont understand the main terms
we use or the full background of this debate.
It was e.g. surprise that the words "elliptical halo"
refer to small vertically oblong ellipses AROUND THE
SUN, as a contrast to Bottlinger's rings that are
found around the subsun. The existance of elliptical
halos was in doubt before these were first documented
so late as in 1987. Now people are divided to supporters
and opponents of gyration-multiple scattering explanation
as reached by Lynch, Gedzelman and Fraser.
Two further comments: "Everybody who has participated"
is being thanked from "by far the best science debate
in meteoptic sofar". He mentioned Sillanpaa's mail particularly
as concise and understandable and wished for
more detailed observations-theory treatment. The same
member also wishes for more mails on the actual subject
of the debate instead of credit issues.
By chance a completely opposite opinion has though
also been expressed within the timespan of 48 h:
one person wishes for quote "less theories" and quote
"more blood". A refreshingly direct view, I must say.
I bet though it wont pass very well in this congregation.
This reminds me of the sympatic and I-wonder-why-
not-so-well-published scholar who kept on being
so revengeful of decades old halo debates against
R.A.R.Tricker that even the subsequent death of
his opponent actually managed to escape his eyes
without much hindering to further ensue his purposes.
Regards, Marko
