Doug,
As you know, in 2010 you came to me and asked that ISFI 2010 give a Plenary Session spot to Jaimie to present the “Fire Investigation by Blood Gas Specie” argument. I agreed and held open a spot for the presentation. Unfortunately no such abstract or paper was received.
This year for ISFI 2012, I spoke to you and Jaimie again about presenting your theory for open discussion. Again no such abstract or paper was received.
I agreed to these presentations because I was aware of the tenor of your theory and and of your repeated failed attempts to get it into 921, and out of my continuing regard for you both, both professionally and personally I thought that the theory should be aired in an appropriate, juried scientific fire investigation atmosphere.
Here was the perfect venue for active discussion of your ideas among and between you and your colleagues and peers.
The invitation is again extended for ISFI 2014.
The ball is in your court.
