I think one problem is due to the "very high" consideration you give to yourself
and to your role. I'm not going to discuss your professional reliability (or is
it authoritativity?) at the University, but here you've a totally different
scenary and your professional attitude is not requested or even opportune.

Whow... here you ask to not be judget if not better known...or you would be
misjudged... Don't you think it's the same anybody else could say for himself?

Again, you really need to judge everybody else attitude.. and this is wrong.

"Apparently" ??? Sir... here you tell us you're "at the top of the faculty "
(and we're asked to trust in your words) and you still use a dubitative form on
the real facts. Here I can only see one real thing, Mr. Phil Nuytten already
proved to the world his own expertise in underwater world exploration. He was
the founder of several world famous companies, designed, tested, patented, built
and sold - worldwide - an incredible amount of innovations which really changed
the face to the Off-shore and Underwater exploration. He's still leading and
innovating the same world, his last creature the Exosuit is closer to the space
tools than to the human things, and he also significantly contribuited to the
space technology.
What about you? Did you do anything worth of consideration out of your spasmodic
need to judge the world?
And - finally - even on this "last time" letter, you're still missing the point.
It's not the material, it's the design. If your design is a poor one, it doesn't
care if you build it using the best still or the most exotic composites, it'll
fail because you didn't understand the way it works.
Please, move one step down the stage and start being more cooperative and
helpful. If you learned something about this world, the group will be more than
happy to learn from your experiences, but there's no reason to be judged and
evaluated by you.
Again, I apologize for my English writing.
