Greve spurned our offer, claiming to be under investigation by a "panel of independent scientists" (how new-agers like that phrase!) and by the Australian television documentary team 60 Minutes.
Worried, no doubt, by the potential damage to her credibility, Greve blamed the low level of nutrients in the hotel’s air, and the level of noise and pollution.
What was even more annoying than Greve’s relentless silliness is the affected superiority of commentators like Gordon McLauchlan, a regular columnist in the NZ Herald, who accused the NZARH of "hilarious stupidity" for taking Greve seriously.
