The story by James Randi mentioned in the last posting, and his
feature about gentle wind project a month earlier, reminded me of
James Randi's assessment of gwp over six years ago when he was
interviewed about them for a Pennsylvania newspaper story. When that
story first appeared, our heads were still inside the GWP belief
system even though we were beginning to pull away. Thus, we
dismissed what he said at the time -- in fact we barely skimmed it
as it was still too difficult to read. As we began to recover we
started to slowly open our eyes and ears to other opinions.

Those original comments by James Randi are posted at Wind of Changes
