> material non public information I'm confused. What do you consider "material" and "non public?" Anecdotal stories of how two or three patients are doing in a clinical trial? That they post on the Internet? I think there's a difference between "material" and "statistically insignificant." Rather than gaining great insight, Idaho may be deluding himself into thinking hPAM4 is better than it really is. That's the usual effect when you selectively concentrate on a couple of random "winners" while your mind filters out the rest of the population. No one will know of Idaho's "material" information has any value until several months from now. We've seen this before in epratuzumab development for both NHL and SLE, as well as most drugs in early development. One or two great "successes" are held up as exemplars, which later turn out to be data points way out on the Bell curve.

> Also waiting for SI Dave's proof. Good luck with that I give you some credit for knowing that SI tracks users by IP address, cookies, and other, similar means, and that if you wanted to start over with a clean ID that would not be that hard to do. This and many of those other IDs were created for the purpose of creating a fuss and then getting caught. Being made a martyr by being thrown off of SI is such fun! Somewhere back in the preceding 8350 messages, I remember one where the SI staff also posted a list of aliases used by the same person. However that list was slightly different -- it also included the "normal" name under which we tend to think of you as well grounded. That seemed odd and erroneous at the time, but in later light it made perfect sense. When you can admit to yourself that this is compulsive, addictive behavior, you can begin to work towards stopping it -- like quitting smoking. In keeping with SI policy, I'll have nothing more to say on this matter.
