Is the standard now that if you haven't heard of someone in a foreign country they are worthless? That seems to be the implication from your posting.

The community is small, and I know just about everyone importance. If not personally, then by name. It is the same reason everyone knows me, or at least knows who I am. Germany has a number of the leading people in the field currently. Only a few of the current top people in the field are actually American -- most are European or from Australia and New Zealand.

But more to the point, he discredits himself by what he writes. But then, as far as I can tell, he doesn't claim to be an expert in the field. Only you make that claim for him.

By the way, I'm a German citizen, so I'm not sure how "foreign" that makes me to another German engineer (though I'm not currently in Germany). Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Through out the night you have elevated yourslf to world-wide stature...claim knowledge of the "information sciences", claim that your name arises a thousand times in a google search...we certainly are awed by your alledged credentials. Imagine being in the presence of one whose name is known internationally whereever the subject of Information arises. And yet, you dwell in a penumbra. I have asked you simple questions about "information." - and you have given us double talk about mathematics, and you have continued to tout your reputation. You have boasted, and answered nothing.

I have asked you where the instructions contained in DNA comes from - for such things a blood clotting, etc. So far - nothing. Please, you were obviously there - tell us. Where do the instructions come from?

The amazing thing about the Internet, the Information super highway, is that we can dwell in anonymity. For all I know you are some 13 year kid sitting in his bedroom, laughing his head off at us.

So with all due respect - I am going to bed - enjoy your flights of fancy, and delusions of grandeur.
