Well, you don't need to "venture to correct" me since I didn't assert
that CO2 is absorbed into plants through the process of photosynthesis.
Nor did I claim to be "knowledgeable about biology", so the source of
your knowlege of my knowlege is unclear to me.  If your condescending
attitude while misinterpreting what I post is supposed to be "friendly",
I suppose I'd hate to see you irate.

I suppose I'd better be explicit, since Richard seems to think I'm
attempting to *support* Beckmann.

    Q. Do I trust Beckmann's analyses?
    A. No, he too obviously has an axe to grind.

    Q. Do I trust Ehrlich then?
    A. No, he's just grinding the other side of the same axe.

Have a nice day.
