[ RadSafe ] Uranium and genotoxicity

[Maury Siskel]

Hi Bjorn,

I believe that many like myself read your postings. I read yours and 
gain some understanding even though outside my area of knowledge. I 
suspect that many are simply indifferent (as well as irritated by his 
personal offenses) to the Salsman stuff and no longer even read his 
posts. He has effectively disqualified himself from much attention.
Best,
Maury&Dog
