Did I say otherwise



Would you write what you did if you didn't think that she warranted that

salary? Your words are hardly complimentary and supportive, are they? *))



My words were factual. If you want to take them out of context and apply

spin that's fine. It doesn't mean that you are correct.



Her salary as Chief Scientist seems perfectly reasonable and appropriate

to me, though I don't really know what duties she is required to perform

in that role, mostly advice and PR I imagine. I doubt she does any

research for the MetO.



You appear jealous - and very suspicious of science and scientists.



Really? You think you can tell that from what I write? Or maybe you are

just fishing.



I wrote; "You appear". Closer reading would perhaps help you. You could

always deny what I said and explain your true position.



Why would you write that if you didn't think it?

Interesting that you avoid stating your own position and instead prevaricate.

Why would I feel the need to deny or explain anything? Is it a requirement to post here?

Why wouldn't you? Maybe it's time you went back to lurking Brian, as I don't think a requirement to post is in the group's charter.

I think that regarding jealousy of science and scientists you may be

projecting your own feelings.

Hardly; projection is the preserve of climate deniers. I have had a wonderful career and now run my own, highly successful company, thank you. I hardly need you to say which career path I should have taken! *))
