July 6

         Note that above James Salsman is speaking derisively of BEIR IV.

         On July 4, he posted a message that consisted largely of some 
quotes from Miller and McClain that were supposed to prove James' point 
about something or other.  He even quoted something Miller and McClain said 
about BEIR IV, to wit:  "The BEIR IV report (1988) ... cautions against 
minimizing the risk
until more studies become available."

         On one day James uses BEIR IV to make his anti-DU point ("cautions 
against"), yet on another day BEIR IV "was in the 80s" and hence has little 
or no merit.

         What's the matter, James?  Don't you read what you post here?  Or 
do you find it titillating to talk out of both sides of your mouth?
