... I am troubled, however, that the article was dated December 2017. I would have expected that his scientific peers in the meantime would have given him much more recognition than it appears... True, but it is still early in the game. Give it a little time (and yeah, I know, that's a commodity we...

Geezer ain't so bad.

Alberta labels me "Disabled" when I hunt over there.
