Some day, you might realize that they don't have any of these metals and that is why they can't produce them. Just a thought, but what do I know. VBG Tim

Jeff, my lacking with facts has me more and more speculating that the reason a <<metal on the table>> has not happened is because Russ Twiford was not able to crack the chemistry. It was mentioned on this thread long ago that Russ Twiford is one of those who was able to bypassed a formal education in chemistry and achieve a level of expertise found with those holding an advanced degree. Nothing unusual in this, there are many men at a young age that see the formal educational route as preventing them from an immediate absortion into an area that they have already decided to enter. To learn at their own pace, into only the areas needed for their focus, makes sense to the point that the education path becomes incorrect. Harvard and MIT I know uses these people to help the professors staff projects obtained with grant money, and at a very low salary amount comparied to a hire of one with that advanced degree. Everyone wins here, as these self educated persons work in their field of interest in a work atmosphere of learning rather than the bottom line of profits. Its my speculation guess that Russ Twiford is of this kind, and the man Jensen was needing an extraction method that interested Russ Twiford as to uncover and discover. To me this is why <<metal on the table>> has not happened, as in the above discussion those Russ Twiford types have the resources of those learning institutes of basic and advanced equipment, along with contact of people that already have made indepth awareness of the area worked in. Zeev is too good an example here not to use, so without his permission I will note that I am sure that he can remember occassions that he has observed either himself or others unable to move forward until a piece of equipment or another person supplied something not had and needed. For me to imagine Russ Twiford in this situation without access to certain methods or equipment or knowledge in text or another person, then yes the onion peeling and nut cracking is a JokeaHappened. That is why I am hopefull that the introduction of this outside coompany to supply their people and equipment resources will extend beyond a mechanical setting up a commercial plant. This only if Twiford has stuff not yet taken to the final place to make it usable, and needed by this outside company to complete a complete run from dirt to metal in hand. This is why I feel that Twiford has prevented Jensen from the delivery he promised long years ago to shareholders. Eventhought the buck stops with the President of Global Jensen, I feel he has been shafted by Twiford if the speculation I have made is correct. But now its pigeon time, or more correctly, military pigeon time, and for precision, its naval military pigeon time. During World War II pigeons were used to carry info between command posts so that the enemy did not obtain thru regular means. Now imagine pigeons out at sea, and used between ships. Yes. Now I wish that I could go back to gpgi post 10,000 and change the name of the person the statue was dedicated to, to Twiford. Also note in the post that these are not you run of the mill pigeons, but Navy veteran pigeons. Finally mention that upon a stop over, each pigeon uses the head.

(off topic) Once again Zeev is my lead in. (sorry again Zeev) In Zeev's lab might be a device used to degauss, and might there be for to use onto JACK either a degrouch'er or degrumpy'er ? Doug
