Been reviewing the clavius site (again), and there seem to be a lot of dead links leading to template files, especially in the vehicle and environment sections, IIRC.
Just wondering if you were planning on fixing that up.
I was also wondering if you're planning on adding Moon Man's claims to the site, or if they have too many fundamental misunderstandings to add?

The "next" and "previous" links go to the template by default. And rather than clean them up, I'll probably just eliminate them altogether. The original plan was to link all the pages together in one chain so you could read the site like a book. Nobody seems to want to read the site that way, and I can't devise a logical order that makes objective sense.
Typically I wait to see how universal some particular argument or claim is before I devote a page to it. Yes, lots of fundamental misunderstandings in Moon Man's statements, but all the hoax arguments have a fundamental misunderstanding, so that's never been a criterion.

Perhaps you could link to the other parts of that section without having people backtrack though? But hey, it's your website, and even if you just remove the links it's still a damn good layout. I'd say he has more misunderstandings than most, though. I don't think I've heard Sibrel arguing that shadows shouldn't be visible on a clear day on the moon, for example. But it doesn't seem like anyone's picked up moon man's weird ideas, so it really would be a waste to dedicate any pages to him, aside from the awesome tribute page he already has. |

I think Jay should mention specific hoax believers by name only when they have a certain level of "fame". Bart Sibrel and Bill Kaysing, for example, have been on television. Moon Man, on the other hand, is only known here and at the BAUT forum and we don't even know his real name. Debunking Moon Man's claims on the Clavius site would be fine, but mentioning him by name would only inflate his ego.  |

Debunking Moon Man's claims He didn't really make many claims, mostly he just asked a lot of questions and kept everyone else talking. Or at least that is my recollection at BAUT, maybe it was different here... |

The behavior of batteries and other equipment in different thermal environments might be a good general topic.
