Gee Whizz. And nobody had anything to say after all, about the
picture in that link in that last post being touted as an example of a
thrust?

You know, this trying to awaken the Living Dead really is
**PUSHING_SHIT_ UPHILL**. And there's Carsten, caused such a FURORE
over 'torque' as regards its expression in the earth's crust a while
back, gave *me* such a hard
time with it, so much so that Oriel felt he just *had* to say
something, ...with absolutely nothing to say when that 'real expert'
Bob Grumbine who doesn't know his flat from fanny

mentions it. Just because he's a pal of Stuart's. (You still wearing
your suit Carsten?) Milankovitch cycles? For goodness' sake.
Fossil weather! ... Torque! Getting all screwed up about the
importance of the Earth's spin in weather, in the geological record..
  If you reckon the earth's rotation puts a shear stress on weather
over geological time, but not on the rock of the Earth's crust,
..well, OI arks You: Talk about getting sense of proportion screwed
up - what next in the name of real science? Like those two in the
yellow oilskins in that picture - so hung up on looking for something,
they can't see what's looking at *THEM*. Hey, Bob, ..have you worked
out what flat means yet, in regard to mountains when they look at you?
 Or are you still on the beach checking if *it's* flat? And there's
his mate, Stuart pontificating about the Earth's rotational axis not
lying in the plane of the ecliptic, and Carsten saying he knows that,
and something about a book about it - as if they're talking about
anything useful in sci.geo.geology. For God's sake, where do these
critters *LIVE* ? Not at the north nor south pole evidently, or they
would *know* that sort of information is sort of ...Mmm, what's the
word? ...I don't know, ..I'm lost for that one. But it's a fine
example of the useless sort of crap that real scientists put around as
information worthy of discussion, is it not? When they could be doing
better things with their time. ("Earth's rotational axis lies in the
ecliptic"..) (And this is something Carsten knows. Amazing what
progress the 'right teacher' can achieve'.)

What else can you say? Except that it's no surprise nobody's not
picked Stuart up on his syntax. Nagain.
