Sorry, snarfy old chap.  But if you think that trying to pass off that 
supposed journal as credible scientific discourse, for no other reason than
your own foolishness, will make you look good, think again.  References
of that caliber won't help you convince any real scientists of your claims.
Beter to accept it now than go around complaining for the rest of your life 
that nobody takes you seriously.  

It's a bitter pill to swallow when I have to come in on the side of Dale
in one of these ranting threads.  But I just *had* to do it.  Not that
he can't defend himself.  Goodness knows.  But I couldn't just sit here
and not take at least one shot at snarfy.
