Well, if you judge situations by rating the reputation of those
commenting
rather then the content of the comments, you can add Bob Park's name;
his "What's New" newsletters of 10/12/07 and 3/13/98 suggest Seitz's
presently affiliated institution is less than forthright.
I encourage readers to read Park's comment at
http://bobpark.physics.umd.edu/index.html
and do a little reading and decision-making of their own before
signing any petitions.

I am yet another recipient of Fred Seitz's request to sign a petition
indicating my agreement that "there is substantial scientific
evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many
beneficial effects upon the natural planet and animal environments on
the Earth."
I am grateful to John Mallinckrodt (2007) for his list of informative
references on the background and nature of the petition.
I note that both Bob LaMontagne and Rick Tarara have made negative
comments on John's post.
I can think of no more positive testimony to a post's merit than its
criticism by BOTH Bob LaMontagne and Rick Tarara.
I am proud to say that my own posts on Phys-L regarding physics
education have received similar honors from the LaMontagne/Tarara
team.
