7. No. I don't check in all that much over there, and if I do, I make very brief remarks, if any.

Anything I say that's worth saying or worth reading - and some fraction of what I write surely isn't worth reading, irrespective of whether I wrote it - is best said or read here.

This is a serious forum, and is in fact, run by a scientist, a gentleman and a scholar.

I like the science forum very much, and spend at least half the time I spend on DU here. I am always pleased to hear about things about which I was unaware, even if some of it comes from pop sources.

There's not all that much chanting of tired and failed 30 or 40 year old mantras here.

As for hydrogen:

In general - although this isn't necessarily 100% true 100% of the time - no real scientist would confuse hydrogen gas on Earth with a primary source of energy, although one can, and does, see such confusion on blogs. Plasma maybe, very much in "maybe" territory, but not gas. Any serious scientist speaking on the subject of energy would be aware of the laws of thermodynamics, which precludes such a misunderstanding. It's better for my blood pressure to not have to explain this all the time.

But thanks for your kind words. Even if you and perhaps some others might welcome me there, you don't run the place. My ignore list, almost entirely generated over there, is too long already. My feeling is that my life is running out, so why should I waste my personal energy, with so little left?
