LNT,etc.

[OFFTOWY@aol.com]

While the ongoing research and discussions regarding LNT are interesting and 
important, haven't we lost our minds here?  I may be showing my age, but 
there was a time when we assumed that LNT was a conservative basis for 
setting standards (only); we did not try to derive post-exposure health 
effects from it.  Perhaps this is something the anti-everythings have done 
for us, but I see more and more "official" publications, including government 
publications, doing the same thing.  Any chance we can get back on track, or 
is the genie too far out of the bottle?
