No.
Smith is either a trouble maker or incredibly stupid. It was a t-y-p-o.
You are an idiot. Not once did you correct it.

You really are mentally unstable or retarded aren't you.
I posted the corrected version on the 3rd of November 2003.
You posted your rubbish on the 4th of November 2004.
It is a matter of public record, anyone may check these facts just
by looking at the entries in their news reader for sci.astro.

And Laura, why don't you try the same.

Nathan,

Your correction may be in *your* news reader, but there is no
evidence that it is in anyone else's. There is no correction
from you on Google.

David A. Smith posted his correction of your error November 3rd,
Pacific Standard Time:

Message 10 in thread
From: \(formerly\) (dlzc1.cox@net)
Subject: The Apollo astronots would have fried! 375 rem/day
Newsgroups: sci.astro
Date: 2003-11-03 19:20:43 PST

I don't know what time zone you are in or what time of day you
think you posted your correction, so it is impossible to know
which happened first.

Your error could not have been a typo, since it ocurred both in
the body of your message and in the subject line, and the whole
premise of your message was based on the number being 375 and
not some smaller number.

As Laura said, since your number was incorrect, your argument
fails.

So you were wrong about:

1) The quantity of radiation. (3.75 rem vs 375 rem)
2) The resulting level of danger to the astronauts.
3) Posting a correction. There is no evidence of any.
4) The date of David's post correcting your error.
5) The value of David's correct and interesting information.
6) The assertion that your error was a typo.
7) The assertion that David is either a trouble maker or
incredibly stupid or mentally unstable or retarded.
There is no evidence of any of that.
