San Diego Misunderstanding

A propos nothing, one Geoffrey Smith appended a most curious comment to Jason Felch's text "Danti's Inference" on the Chasing Aphrodite Blog (November 26, 2014 at 10:43 am ) under a comment by Wayne Sayles (as if he'd know anything about it):

What has happened to the artifact erosion center?

I presume he means the Artefact (note the spelling) Erosion Counter.  Basically, it has continued to tick away registering selfish hoikery day after day while the snide comments pile up. I cannot for the life of me think why it is of interest to a collector in San Diego, can you?

This is the same "Dr Geoffrey A Smith, Trustee, Museum of Man, San Diego, California" who commented earlier on Professor Danti ( November 18, 2014 at 8:40 am): 

He chooses to be a political activist … Academic with an agenda… And Is a poor excuse for a instructor. With his loss of credibility his effectiveness as a teacher is gone.

Nice, eh? Smith was a particularly irritating trumpeter for the antiqui-dealers on the yahoo Ancient Artefacts scrum. Probably still is.
