Long overdue. Tim not only knows a lot about this particular case, but he is quite proactive contacting medical staff, experiencers, etc. and knows details of the cases that I'm sure even a few authors don't.

Fill 'er up, Tim! I do find the case interesting as well.

I find it interesting too, but... LOL on creating this thread.

I've been holding off on this as the forums+threads slated for deletion have not yet been deleted, and so are still available at their original location. I am hoping that somebody has managed to convince Alex to leave them up, or that he's decided to do that on his own, and that potentially he will not make any announcement, just... well, leave them up.
If not, then:
- Yes, I can convert my Skeptiko archives in JSON format to static HTML and make that browseable - it would be static though, so nobody could respond to the old threads. If folks wanted to integrate them into this forum itself, so that threads could be responded to... well, we'd have to think about that, it wouldn't be so straightforward.
- Pollux has used an alternative scraping tool to scrape a lot of the slated-for-deletion Skeptiko forums as HTML+CSS+Javascript, so they look exactly as they looked on Skeptiko. The main problem with this is, as implied in the previous sentence, much is missing from this scrape, which is why we haven't as yet linked to it.

I hope that (probably overly verbosely!) answers your question!

I understand... It's just that I'm not looking forward to explaining that the M.D.s that were actually involved in the procedure debunked the speculations of Mr. GW years ago. It's going to be tedious...
