These are trivial compared to the public safety implications of an unexplained missile launch off the coast of America's second most populous city. What an alarming sight for anyone who happened to look towards the sunset during those ten minutes or so. Don't you think the government owed the people of Los Angeles an explanation?
Except of course that it wasn't an alarming sight, since to most Angelenos the contrail looked exactly like what it actually was -- a typical contrail, the kind they see all the time off their coast. It was only for people within an extremely narrow viewing angle -- directly in front, where foreshortening might make it seem to travel upwards -- that it would have looked remotely interesting.
Nice avoid on the LAX webcam pic, btw. If you can't deal with it, just ignore it, right?
I have been shown that pic about twenty times and dealt with it as many times in the last seven weeks. If you don't like my answers that's your problem. How anal retentive can you possibly be to keep pinging me back to answer to you? What makes my opinion on it so important to you? If it is that important to you go read my posting history.
Your demand to answer it one more time sure isn't important to me.
That's SOP for TE. Here's a classic example of his evasion by subject change:
To this total factual smackdown of his misrepresentation of my work he ignores his factual defeat (and certainly never apologizes for his erroneous slander).
Instead, he goes ad hominem with
"That's not true. You just can't be honest can you? Or reasonable or decent."
Nary an admission of -- or contrition for -- his indecent slander being proven flat-out wrong.

As I said, evasion is his modus operandi and SOP. Simple fact. Count on it.
