No Frank, You have deleted the other groups because you are concerned about who might be watching this conversation.

Did anyone mention a pump in my theory? I am unaware of any relationship between a pump and the phenomenon which I am dealing with? What do you have to hide Frank?

"I formally challenge you to find anything wrong with my explanation for fluid transport. Go consult some physics books to see if you can find any reference to this phenomenon." When you are done, come back and destroy my arguments, but don't hide behind the fact that your knowledge is limited to the areas you specialise in. You would of course run rings around me in your own fields and I respect you for that! When I made the silly error of including the files you mentioned, I was a newbie to news groups and because I had been reading a couple of binary news groups, I made the mistake of thinking it would be OK to paste these files in. I now know that this was stupid and have no problem appoligising for my stupiditiy. I take it you have not reconstructed my experiments? All good science must be repetable science.
