Hi.
I had a really interesting conversation once with a highly intelligent geek who told me that a significant amount of research into Artificial Intelligence is being done with chat-bots, and that really a lot was/is & will be learned by the programming of chat-bots, and that one of the greatest difficulties for the AI researchers is that its very difficult to program english language into them, much less for them to spontaneously, in a natural way recognise other posters, exept for bots made by the same creator.
Anyway, what you quoted sounds to me more like it came from a bot than from a human.

Characteristics of Night Vision
Using intensified night vision is different from using regular binoculars and/or your own eyes. Below are some of the aspects of night vision that you should be aware of when you are using an image intensified night vision system.
Textures, Light and Dark
Objects that appear light during the day but have a dull surface may appear darker, through the night vision unit, than objects that are dark during the day but have a highly reflective surface. For example, a shiney dark colored jacket may appear brighter than a light colored jacket with a dull surface.
Depth Perception
Night vision does not present normal depth perception.
Fog and Rain
Night vision is very responsive to reflective ambient light; therefore, the light reflecting off of fog or heavy rain causes much more light to go toward the night vision unit and may degrade its performance.
Honeycomb*
This is a faint hexagonal pattern which is the result of the manufacturing process.
Black Spots*
A few black spots throughout the image area are also inherent characteristics of all night vision technology. These spots will remain constant and should not increase in size or number. See example below of an image with black spots.

Wait a second...
I seem to remember way back when ... those horrid nasty fools from Alabama were all over the TV channels, just everywhere, and among all the saintly virginal didn't-have-a-belly-button Divine Birth Natalee Holloways accomplishments were the "facts" that she was a so-called (lol) experienced (rofl) WORLD TRAVELER!
And then they said something about her having been to Europe, NO country specified; the Caribbean, NO island specified, and to ...
************ ===>>> Canada!!!!!!!
I really raised my eyes when I heard this depiction of "Experienced World Traveler" and yet the adults spouting this nonsense were obviously SO EMBARRESSED BY NATALEE that they wouldn't even say which countries, nor how many DAYS that maybe she might have spent outside of the USA.
And never did they ever explain just what activity she did in that foreign exchange student volunteerism -- who do those adults spouting all this crap happen to think they are ---- to LIE daily for weeks on end to the rest of America?
And how dare the cable media showcase this miserable sideshow?!
Is Natalee Holloway in Canada?

Good for Les Quebecois. No stupid redneck is going to pull the wool over their eyes. It would be kind of interesting to find out what the heck she is doing there.

Refugeelurker, I think you are exactly correct. And, that is yet one more lie from the Twitholes, and perpetuated by the ridiculous tabloid television shows.

International Safe Travel Foundation has some connection with the Province of Quebec. The website is being designed or is somehow based out of Montreal for some reason and that was the alleged reason she was in Montreal over memorial day weekend.

Now I am mulling over this:
You know who I keep thinking about? Julia Renfro.
I am sure she heard a lot from Batty during those days that she was with her. I wonder if she will ever talk/write about that veil of secrecy- those "lies" that Batty and Jug told, and the reasons they gave for telling them?
. |
Yes, Julia heard and saw a lot - and that's why there has been such a campaign by certain people to discredit her - however, that has backfired and has made some people look really d-u-m-b. I bet Julia is just waiting for the "right time" to tell all. |
Oh great, another "We will hear later" possibility. I hope everyone who has something to tell about this case does it soon. I mean, what's the hurry, It has only been 13 months. I get the feeling everyone left who gives a rats ass about this case is going to die of old age before anyone tells anything of significance.

But if Julia Renfro knows really important stuff, then how can she possibly publish it NOW, before anything goes to court? Wouldn't any evidence published in a "Tell-ALL" book, or publicized through the mass media, isn't such evidence then considered tainted, and is no longer considered presentable to the judge?

Well, I don't know about that. For instance, if Natalee is found and the FACTS, the actual truth around her disappearance emerges, then maybe there will be libel litigation against The Only Mommy EVER Who Experienced Tragedy.

Well, if she's found alive. If she's dead, I doubt her body will ever be found. Maybe a fragment of it that won't yield any useful evidence.
At this, point, it's unlikely anyone's going to confess. (Though stranger things have happened, certainly.)
And remember that Joran is still the "principal suspect." If they keep barking up that tree, all they'll get is a bunch of coconuts dropped on their heads.
