Sorry about that. Dr. Peter Zimmerman is a chief science advisor with the U.S. Senate and has a Ph.D. in Physics along with years of hard-earned laboratory research experience. He participates regulary in the Hydrino Study Group discussions because that is his only opportunity to challenge publicly Mills' assertions. However, his participation is not part of his "official" job with the government, so he did not want his job title listed on the http://www.hydrino.org web site.

The two quotes resulted from a long, exasperating, back-and-forth dialogue between Mills and Zimmerman a year or so ago. As the list moderator, I finally called a "time out" to ask both these men about their fundamental assumptions of the nature of the universe. The quotes you see on the front page are their responses.
I am sorry you are not happy with the quote selections nor with the absence of a brief job title for Dr. Zimmerman. But I hope you at least understand now how we came to post that material as written.
You may search the list archives using the search box at the bottom of the front page at http://www.hydrino.org to gain more insight into the Mills-Zimmerman exchanges.
