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? Why would I feel the

need to deny or explain anything? Is it a requirement to post here?



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

projecting your own feelings. For such a staunch advocate you really

should have gone for a career in science yourself.

You also seem to be going round in circles trying to avoid what you really want to say Brian. Good luck finding a way to say it.
