Mr. Allmendream (what a revealing name choice !)

the first stage of Ms. Hewitts research masters, the proof that the aro-9 gene of N.crassa had been cloned into a lambda vector was published in Molecular and General Genetics, a peer reviewed publication.
What was your topic of research in your Masters?
What have you published?
I have news for you. Women get married, and change their names. And not all Net names are private ones. Or did you publish as Mr. Allmendream?
How many publications do you have?
How many years lecturing?
At which University?
On what topic?
And you have the gall to say she is an “ill educated layman”.
Incidentally, you are also commiting the logical fallacy of ad hominen.
One so highly educated as yourself will understand this, I’m sure.

Pointing out how ill her education has served her is hardly an ad hominen. I didn't say she was a bad person, just that what she said was incorrect and that she was sufficiently vague about her qualifications such that one might assume she had qualifications she did not possess.

Glad you like my screen name.

“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.”
