Oh good grief.  Going into Mr. Peabody's WATBAC machine, you claimed to be an expert in this branch of scientic research with numerous papers published blah blah blah.  An engineering degree I recall from Notre Dame ot some other 3rd tier school.  I'm pretty sure it wasn't from one of the top ranked schools for Petrogeology related field, since you have a huge chip on your shoulder regarding education.

Geochemistry is the branch of Earth Science that applies chemical principles to deepen an understanding of the Earth system and systems of other planets. Geochemists consider Earth composed of discrete spheres — rocks, fluids, gases and biology — that exchange matter and energy over a range of time scales.

The Top 3 schools for the subjects are:

Australia National University
Cambridge University
China University of Geosciences Beijing

Down further come MIT & Stanford and University of Texas at Austin just makes the Top 10.  I recall you mentioning them at some point.

Regardless of any of that, your cloak and dagger adventure to ole Dixie to have a chat with me about EVs was so amazing until you reminded me of the chat I had no memory of meeting you whatsoever.  You were just another faceless person I talked to that day about the SUN project & EV Scooters.
