          1. Still nope—-???? It’s OK—-they ARE in the video, although some are hard to see.


          2. Yep—-came through fine—-and I never had the %EF%BB%BF “extra”—-also can’t remember the last time I got a 403 error message—-WP is indeed goofy today.


          3. I will show great self-control and will power by NOT commenting on you talking about “littering” on Crock.


  1. The operative word is could be, maybe, possible which applies to all the conclusions. It is possible the little people released a lot of methane as well.

      Context matters. If your Aunt Patootie posted could-be/maybe/possible on a Facebook diatribe feel free to roll your eyes. It’s very different when someone with in-depth familiarity with what possibilities have already been eliminated and the known mechanisms for methane production from natural and anthropic sources.

      I think I’ve developed “disgust fatigue” with all the Creationists, anti-vaxxers and AGW deniers being dismissive of those stupid (or venal) scientists who, despite working in an area at great depth for a long time, have somehow overlooked some glaringly obvious factoid someone else found on the Internet.
