You, Richard--not Chris--were the one who "alerted" me. (In your nasty, snide, smarmy way.) Not coming right out and saying it, of course, but just using your sarcastic little bits of innuendo. Something you can always be proud of.

And yes, Jodi is the expert (I wouldn't call him an authenticator; I've never seen him selling CoAs) I respect the most. He, unlike you, has never been bounced out of a court of law, as the judge ruled that you don't posses "sufficient skill, knowledge or experience in the fields in which [you] were asked to render opinions."

I wonder. Did you refund your "expert witness" fee?

So vulgar David, what a bitter little man you are. Can't you at least stop the vulgarity.
The judge ruled that in the state of Indiana the testimony of a non scientifically trained person could not be admitted as testimony. The defense lawyer should have known this but he did not. Based on Indiana law all the FDE's that we complain about here would have their testimony admitted in court. Strange, I know, but that is the law in that state.
My testimony was accepted in a NY State court, in Nassau County, which does not have the same law as in Indiana.
I guess it does not compare to a survey of students who deemed you to be among the worst professors in the college you were teaching in, but it is something to be considered.
And Jody worked for an authentication company he did not sell his own COA's. They regarded him as an authenticator. And I don't know if he was ever asked to testify in a court case, so we cannot say his testimony was bounced.
And Jodi, sorry to bring you into this again, but maybe you should have asked David not to mention you again, like you asked me. I did try to oblige you but I had to answer the query.

LOL! A very small number of students who couldn't hack physics--and who probably received poor grades--thought I was the worst prof ever. Good on them for speaking their minds. My colleagues and fellow physicists, of course, didn't quite feel that way, as evidenced by my tenure, and my numerous research and pedagogical publications. You can't go into a research library anywhere in the world without finding my work. In fact, it's quite easy to find my work discussed in just about any library--it's been mentioned in many recent science popularizations, and popular magazines--New Scientist, Sky and Telescope, Astronomy, to name a few.
And you can find students I've taught and inspired (their words, not mine) all over the country.
Not too shabby for a professional life. I'm fairly satisfied--and as many of my students discovered, I'm not easy to please.

I personally feel, and know for a fact, that just because an autograph is removed from ebay, does not mean it is bad at all. They remove good autographs all the time, and leave bad ones on. This is a fact, so having an auction removed is not always an indicator the autograph is bad or questionable.

Dave, how do you know it for a fact?
In a rare instance if they remove a good autograph then someone on the team has made a mistake. And I know for a fact the team is 99% accurate when an autograph is removed.
I can assure you they do not remove good autographs all the time. True that bad ones are left on.
And Dave at post #31 in this thread I asked a question of you but perhaps you did not see it, so I wanted to repeat myself about it now.

They are 99% accurate from looking at a scan? Wow, they are good.

Only openly egregious autographs are pulled.
The ones that are looked at here with laughter and mockery.

LOL! That's right, Richard. I listed an "openly egregious autograph," one that would be "looked at here with laughter and mockery."

Just like all the other autographs I've ever posted here, or sold on eBay.

I challenge you to find one example.

David, a few students? Not according to Mr Lichtmann.
How can a few students result in the rating you got.
And how about go f--- yourself to a female dean. Classy, but we knew that already.
You have always been a vulgarian, you cannot help it, virtually everytime you open your mouth or sit down at a keyboard you are a vulgarian.

Richard. I'll put my professional accomplishments up against yours any day of the week.

One dozen--count 'em--one dozen self-selected students, out of the literally thousands I've taught, thought I was the worst ever. As I've said before, more power to 'em. Go check it yourself--http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/--if you think you're actually capable of doing some research, rather than quoting others.

(And if you don't understand the inherent bias of self-selection, Richard, PM me--I'll explain it to you.)
