There's a Ph.D., biochemical engineering, who determines much of the sector's business development strategy. There's a Ph.D. organic chemist who (1) does process scale-up for a day job (a real one), (2) supports families in two countries, and (3) made a shambles of biotech investing in 1999. Anyone else want to be one of my cronies? The pay is good.... two, maybe three pitchers of beer among friends, maybe once or twice a year.my previous self-inflicted embarrassments have forced me to be exceptionally aware of the delineation between fact and opinion and I make a concerted effort to distinguish these in all of my posts. Bull. Let's start here. I have, in my hands , a hard copy of the post to which this refers.......Message 2038423 You were not alluding to "a rumor of a press release". You were commenting on a bogus press release which was posted to the Fountain Pharmaceuticals thread by one "Mark Fisner". The intent of that post, IMO, was fraud for profit. You've been taking shots at our picks in the face of our success. You've attempted to do such from a stance of anonymity, using multiple aliases. I call that cowardice. You were using one or another alias to take shots, be the "bad girl", while defending those, with a second alias, who were attacked. I call that cowardice. Finally, your embarrassments have NOT been self-inflicted. I got you kicked off of SI. I uncovered the aliases that you were using. I pointed SI personnel to the bogus press release from Fisner. And I pointed to "Scott" when you tried to sneak back in, using another assumed alias. Two of my cronies can verify everything that I've said, as they were doing the investigations with me, real time. This is what really ticks me off..... you continue to represent yourself as a scientist, but scientists are trained to not engage in the sort of crap -- "creating the illusion of agreement on whatever opinions (you) deemed worthwhile" -- that you find routine.I'll satisfy your your incessant and insatiable desire You came back to SI. I didn't ask you to come back, I didn't ask you to assume yet another alias, and I didn't ask you to start taking shots, from yet another stance of cowardice, at the biotech "mavens". Why does our success make you so angry? We have truly been successful, and many have shared who would not have otherwise done so.puritanical rage You bet! Scientists don't cheat , and you continuously hold your training up as some sort of great gift to SI. It's the bottom line that we all learn.... scientists don't cheat.Message #67 from scott_jiminez at Sep 27, 2000 4:44 PM OK Richard. Since you're so desperate for this, I'll satisfy your your incessant and insatiable desire...if it will result in you and your cronies getting off my back. This is my biography: Name - Ronald P. Hellendall Address - 407 Thornwood Dr. , Chapel Hill, NC Age - 44 Education - Ph.D. Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, 1991; Neuroscience I originally joined SI in ~1996 and proceeded to break a number of the fundamental rules of this site. I used multiple aliases which spoke back and forth to each other creating the illusion of agreement on whatever opinions I deemed worthwhile. I also alluded to a rumor of a press release of some sort of arrangement between Fountain Pharmaceuticals and Merck which was a complete fabrication. I was appropriately kicked off of SI soon thereafter. Subsequent to a metaphorical ~18 month prison term (i.e. no SI), I reapplied to SI - obviously using my real name in the application - and adapted the totally fictitious name of Scott Jiminez to protect my privacy. If the members of the SI community feel I should be banned for life, please advise the proper authorities immediately. I have attempted to be as forthright and as helpful in my participation on SI as I can be; my previous self-inflicted embarrassments have forced me to be exceptionally aware of the delineation between fact and opinion and I make a concerted effort to distinguish these in all of my posts. Again, if those in the SI community feel I have failed this necessary requisite, please email Jill. I will not respond to the Rick's incendiary post, just as I refused to extend Miljenko's mudslinging (even though both posts contained enormous distortions and considerable hyperbole) because one round of this junk in this public forum is enough. If Rick and Miljenko would care to continue to invoke their puritanical rage, fine. I've had my mea culpa and I will not respond. Scott
