[Ifeffit] Fitting EXAFS with out any atomic coordinates?

[E. Bosman]

Hi Anatoly,

it's funny for me as an german guy to read your discussion about "zeitgeist" and "poltergeist" ;-)
I think zeitgeist (the spirit of the time/age) and poltergeist are total different things.

Poltergeist:
maybe this is a good definition: Reports of poltergeist activity typically feature heavily on raps, bumps, thumps, knocks, footsteps, and bed-shaking, all without a discernible point of origin or physical reason for occurrence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poltergeist). But if you look closer at it, you find out that it is a practical joke or nature phenomena like wind, wether etc... are the cause.

Ciao,
Eckhard

PS: sorry for the off-topic spam ;-)
