Man, I'd hate to think ol' Sakari is an out and out liar! He swore he traded emails with Meldrum and that it was Meldrum that posted in that thread.

I never accused Sakari of anything. Just saying that its the internet, independently verifying anything is very tricky. Meldrum is a celebrity in some circles. People impersonate celebrities. Not Sakari specifically, but it could even have been Sakari that was duped. or it could have really been Meldrum. My point is that there isn't any way to tell.
Come on you guys....In that thread, and in the stories thread, his email is right there. Then, you can go right to Idaho States University, go to " aministration " and email him there also....
I posted all of that, that is what I did, anyone can email him through the University site and confirm it was him. ( I did that all ready )
It is so easy to assume, or make accusations ( not you two ), while ignoring facts, or refusing to do even one ounce of investigating yourself to confirm or debunk......And these facts are so easily found.....Not tricky at all, pretty damn simple.....Take 10 minutes and do what I suggest, really, a 5th grader could do it.
If you are not sure, or do not believe it was him......Email him and ask. Or call the University and talk to him.
If you are really into it, ask a mod to look at his IP, see if it matches any other members ( they do this with banned people to make sure they do not re-enlist ), and see where the IP originates.
I copy / pasted all of the emails...
Sakari does not get " duped ", Sakari takes the time to investigate things before posting them as fact.Making sure anyone else can also verify, by posting supporting links and information.........
orangepeaceful79, I challenge you to take 10 minutes ( or more ), do a email, make a phone call, and PM a mod. Please verify what I verified and posted.
Idaho State University -

From Idaho State Universities Site, a link to his contact information ( made it easier for you ) -
http://www.isu.edu/~meldd/
Here, I will also copy and paste it.....( but do go to the site and confirm )
Department of Biological Sciences
Campus Box 8007
Idaho State University
Pocatello, ID 83209-8007
(208) 282-4379
meldd@isu.edu
Here is another link to the State University website with his information again......
http://www.isu.edu/b.../faculty/meldd/
Now, do a google of the phone numbers, and a reverse address search, so you can confirm it really is him answering.
Next, if this is not enough, contact a mod to check the IP.....
It was him.......And really, who cares. He came in answered a few things, saw skepticism, and never came back.....Boo hoo, here is a kleenex.
