A typo is trivial of course, whether in one's posts or another's quote.
Worth correcting, but no big deal.

A conspiracy theory about scientists deliberately altering one's post
is another matter. Detachment from reality.

Well, I definitely did not write 3D300,000 km per second.

You keep saying that. That's *not* what I noted in your post.

If some
scientist went to the trouble of changing that post, there is a good
chance in my opinion that he changed some other ones.  As far as the
post you mention is concerned, if this other one had not been changed,
I probably would have said, Oops typo, but I remembered writing the
equation correctly, and I think it was changed.

You are not dealing with reality. The wrong equation was in your
post, not a later quote. No one is intercepting your posts and
substituting altered versions. It's a paranoid delusion.

   For one thing, you do not see this sort of thing because you write
posts that are politically correct in the scientific world.  Some of
these scientists get so irate with me that they are calling me every
name imaginable and making all sorts of threats.

What name have you been called that you think I have not? What
great threat do you think you alone are under?

I have seen them
change what I posted in the past.  Someone definitely did change this
one, 3D300,000 km per second, right at the time you were pointing out
that this other equation was incorrect.  So I am not going to judge
the matter to be one way or the other.

It ain't a tough one to get right. Just deal with reality.

How about the two '?' characters that appear in the first line
of quoted material in above, "� � But the fact of the matter..."
Did you write those? Maybe it was a conspiracy of evil scientists
that inserted them. Or maybe your newsreader is a little whacked.
Any clue which way the odds lean?

Well, one scientist called me an idiot Jesuit and the anti-Christ.
The same guy drowned while swin\mming in the Indian Ocean about a
month later. Have you ever been called an idiot Jesuit?
Anyway, there have been people in this newsgroup who changed posts I
made for their own amusement. So you are saying that 3D3000,000 was a
computer generated change. I say it was not, but was some scientist
trying to be funny because I had said that light traveled at more than
one velocity.
