I asked about what you knew of Solar Warden only because you had mentioned it earlier as a topic you were prepared to discuss. I thought you might have some insight beyond what is easily found online. Thank you for the links, though.
It does not exist, how much insight does one expect from that? Due to that very fact, the links
are the insight. It simply is impossible for aircraft carriers to be cruising the atmosphere unannounced to the public. And the claims is that quite a few are up there. That is nonsense and I do have insight into that area by way of a love of astronomy and a half decent telescope.

As for the 15 minute thing, I was inspired by a post you had made in another thread where you gave someone 15 minutes to prove that "anything is possible". I thought it was a great idea at the time, but looking back, it just seems rather snotty now. If that's what you thought too, I guess we agree. Hey...did we just prove anything IS possible?
I thought that might be your motivation, however, when did I ever claim that nothing is impossible in my post? It does not seem snotty, it seems a bit stupid when there is no application for the challenge. In that respect I guess it could be regarded as snotty as you did not really have any reason other than baiting me did you?
No, I cannot see how you have proven anything is possible. I did not bother with your 15 minute time limit is you notice the time stamps as it did not apply to anything more than some self serving sense of accomplishment for yourself in "getting back at a skeptic" It's rather childish IMHO. You need to have a reason to state such a challenge, but you didn't. Yet I did.
Are you saying anyTHING is possible?

The one portion of your post that sticks out to me is your reference to "that crook Gary McKinnon". You give such an outsized and biased decoration to his name while, in his own country, and yours, he is not seen that way at all. Sort of like other infamous appellations as "The Lone Nut Oswald", or "The Coward Robert Ford", or "911 Mastermind Mohammad Atta", it appears designed to mislead and condition the reader into a perception which may, in fact, be false. An open, truth-seeking mind would be far less prejudiced, given the circumstances. Don't you think?
That was all that you picked up? That is a shame. I expected more for such an astute poster.
I simply do not believe you. Because a number of ignorant people on Australia are fooled by his BS, that does not constitute "The Country", just a small and embarrassingly uninformed portion of the population.
Please do not bring up 911. I find it distressing the way some complete idiots refuse the outright confession from some maniacs that find it just fine to behead your daughter to try to implicate the Government they are responsible for voting in some twisted game to feel intellectual. That is why I mostly avoid the CT section of this site. If you want to discuss that idiocy further I suggest you look up that section of the forum. That is after all, why it exists.
An "open mind" certainly will give McKinnon the benefit of the doubt as he is peddling dreams, and that is something people want to buy. These are the same "open minds" that still believe Bob Lazar. Informed people do not have to give the benefit of the doubt, there is enough information to see that McKinnon is lying through his teeth, and was able to convince the "open minded" to believe his steaming pile of "information". The truth is blatant to anyone with any reasonable IT experience. In any case, he is not Gordon Novell is he. What the hell did you want to discuss? Anything or did you just want some skeptics around and thought you might try to bait some in?
