I'll admit my error in my flame about the ignorance in journalism
today (not that it hasn't been pointed out several times already).
It was a mistake to extrapolate my knowledge about the absorbtion and
filtering of electromagnetic radiation into the emission of the same.
There does still seem to be a bit of disagreement on whether colour in
fact affects heat radiation at all, or whether the amount solely
dependent on the temperature.  I won't hazard any guesses -- I'm crisp
enough already, any colour you want!  I intend, however, to continue
using black cast-iron pans...

My ignorance in the field of thermophysics should not be pronounced as
my ignorance about everything, though, even though some University of
Chicago people thing *this* is a valid extrapolation!  I guess that's
the style of net.flame though; and I hope I'm not offending any of the
diehards of this newsgroup by admitting my error...  :-)
