Thanks! Been reading for years. Finally decided to start flapping my jaw. LOL!

Fan of Ptolemy? Yes -- and of Aristotle, and of Aristarchus, Eratosthenes, and too many to name. Also -- a fan of Copernicus, Galileo, Tycho, Kepler, Newton, etc.

Fan of great scientists. Even those I listed who turned out to be wrong were great in many ways. I started out as a physics major, but -- big mistake -- switched to history. I love history, but I regret not sticking with science.

Cheers back!
