Thanks Roger. Im sure it will be interesting to read what Petra has to say when she's ready.

I think I understand what you mean about "being burned", but I don't understand why she can't at least answer some foundational questions for those of us who are skeptical. She could do so without divulging too much of her research, don't you think?

Meanwhile, is she making regular and public predictions somewhere? I think an ocassional prediction with broad parameters isn't a fair way to judge her claims. Personally, I think she needs to be out there regularly and very publicly with a fairly narrow prediction. She did make a decently specific prediction recently, but missed that altogether. The way she announced the public version of the prediction was so full of drama as to be almost laughable.

However, I would love to see her posting specific and public predictions and watch what happens. I will be the first to say "Wow..Petra...I was wrong. Maybe there IS something to what you're saying." Meanwhile, I think its more about attention than prediction.

I will be patient though. No other choice I suppose.

I look forward to learning more Roger.
