Dear Barrett,

thank you for your response.

in this case you fell through the cracks due to all the traveling 

understand - that can happen

As for the crack about my views on valid skepticism

just a crack from somebody who is well aware of what you write and largely is on the same side on most issues - your stuff is visible out there and I like to read up on people before I contact them.

I will look over the other email I just received and see how I can participate. Sadly there are many issues with not being able to use many resources effectively when in China (censure, proxy server hassle), so this may hamper the communication desirable in something like Project PM. Instead of getting better, currently it is getting worse again with the nobel peace price etc.

Anyways - we are on one side when it comes to wanting to actually do something about the bad state of science journalism and peer review/publish and perish culture that undermines science, rather then just lamenting it. So I am looking forward to hopefully fruitful cooperation.

Thanks again

Sascha
