This is shocking… an email exchange between Mann and Jones has surfaced about the use of energy saving light bulbs. I’m pretty sure it’s real.

Subject: Annoying idiot wants scientific openness

Howdy amigo!

I got this outrageous E-mail by some idiot that wants to check our light-bulb figures. If I see him I promise you I’ll beat the crap out of him. Suggest that you immediately delete everything. Chris will do the same. We can’t have others coming and checking our light bulbs. Scientific scrutiny and freedom of information in my ass! I propose that we gang up and oust this annoying man from everything. BTW, I attached the latest version of our program code, which should fix the travesty about the increase that simply hasn’t happened.

Ps. Send the money in chunks below 10 000 dollars, so authorities won’t find them, though I know that’s a heck of a job for the 100 billion of tax-payer’s money we have gotten so far.
