More could be written about lapse rates, but ??

There is more that could be written about atmospheric lapse rates, but I'm not sure if more is required of an encyclopedia article. Milton Beychok 23:48, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Milt, when you're interested in changes made by 173.20.51.14 to the present article, see Knowino ALR. You can undo the changes if you wish (or copy them here). --Paul Wormer 06:50, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your heads up, Paul. But I have no inclination and no time for reviewing what some anonymous person has to say in another wiki. Especially when words like "junk" and "Jesus, you really said this?" are used. That is the type of language from anonymous sources that drove me out of Wikipedia. As I recall, when I wrote this article, you read it and offered no comments. Your Barometric formula article here in CZ speaks of constant lapse rates and of temperature being linear with height (which is just another way of describing a constant lapse rate). So why a comment like "Jesus, did you really say that?" ? I thought we were friends, Paul. Milton Beychok 07:52, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
