Yes the very same I was referring to, although the full story goes that I have referred Glider to the findings of an Australian guy going under the handle Pips who posted the summary of this paper several years ago on butch's board. BTW Neil Stirling was also participating, but he keeps dead silent about this paper on his site propagating 100 octane use.

Now, despite being perfectly aware that he needs to contact this Australian guy, Glider kept b!tching to me about producing the paper, of which I have only seen a summary on a board. I kept telling him to contact Pips and ask him.

Instead, Glider kept asking me, living 10 000 miles from Australia to produce the paper found by an Australian, in Australia.

Then I gave Glider the URL to the discussion where this was posted. At first he claimed "he could not find the alleged discussion", then went back asking me, living 10 000 miles from Australia to produce the paper found by an Australian, in Australia.

After a while Glider gave up this tactic of dismissing the paper, and claimed he contacted the Australian archieves, but the Archive said they've never heard about it, and again went back asking me, living 10 000 miles from Australia to produce the paper found by an Australian, in Australia.

That others made efforts through their records office contacts on your behalf and found nothing?

Lastly, Glider reproduced the email reply of the Australian archive staff, who in reality replied to Glider's vaguely worded email (somewhere along the lines 'gimme the paper of 100 octane') that given such inaduquate reference that he gave, its not possible to find it and he should supply accurate and precise reference so they would try to dig it up.

You may have already guess that after that Glider went back asking me, living 10 000 miles from Australi, having seen but a summary of the paper on a discussion board and giving him all details I've known about, a to produce the paper found by an Australian, in Australia.

At that point I believe it's understandable that I came to the conclusion that, for entirely subjective reasons, it may not be possible to have a fruitful and rational discussion on the matter with Glider.

Then you came into the picture and told your (half-)story, and so I've told mine, and now people can make up their minds about you, Glider, and the concept of credibility.
