Dear Frank Crary,

Once again, thanks for the comments. It's a real eye opener to be able to
access people with substantial knowledge on the net. It's a real
eye-opener for me.

Does the Webber-Davis model comment on the plasma sheath situated at
Jupiter's ecliptic? Do you happen to know if the flux tubes between Io and
Jupiter's magnetic poles are mentioned or the sulfur 'lane' that Io orbits
Jupiter? I mention these, because it seems to me that the accumulation of
these may add considerable drag to the Jovian system.

Also, I apologize for not making myself clear; I was considering proximity
(Moons/Jupiter-Sun/Planets) rather than actual mass. Those moons are
relatively close in relation to their size. I realize this is very
unscientific, but it seems to me that the Jovian environment is a very
messy place.
Comment?

Thanks for your comments on neutrino research. I realize that the idea
that my paper proposes is pretty outrageous; that is why I am eager to see
the neutrino data I was looking for. Of course, everybody else expects to
see neutrinos coming from the center of the Sun. As you know, I expect a
'ring'. I think the neutrino data - especially the intriguing relationship
between the sunspot cycle and the neutrino flux - is very exciting.
Well, perhaps you are right - it may be a long, long time before the
neutrino physicists are able to have enough data to draw any conclusions,
but I guess I'd like to get hold of one of these folks and find out if
there is a rough estimate as to when....or even if anyone has thought of
reviewing the data in this manner.

If you are interested in neutrinos, I can highly recommend "Neutrino
Astrophysics" by John N. Bahcall, Cambridge University Press 1989
