John,

You can continue to harp and push your agenda that I am strictly 
attempting to market a different product. In that you seem to be a 
majority of one (based on recent conversations and a stackload of 
private e-mails), I am simply going to ignore you from this point 
forward. 

The only thing I am going to add is I have never criticized or 
attacked the Luxel dosimeter (publicly, or privately, as can be 
attested to by many). I have every right to post my opinions on 
reporting levels. If a dosimeter reported dose above 50 mrem only, 
I'd provide comments on that as well. The bottom line is, and many 
have already voiced this, is that whether or not one likes it, 
reporting levels, litigation and technical documentation go hand in 
hand. Not only is the issue of 1 mrem open to anyone, and to your 
dismay - even me, there are other factors besides the regulatory 
limits. One need not even provide monitoring if 10% of the annual 
dose limits are not exceeded (10CFR20) or 25% of quarterly limits 
if under state regulations that have not adopted the annual limits. 
Therefore, debating the benefit and consequences of reporting 1 
mrem is fair game. If there weren't any issues, then the clients 
wouldn't have the choice, nor would they even need the choice to 
chose. Now would they.

This is my LAST word on this thread. From this point forward, I'll be 
happy to assist anyone, privately if necessary, on this particular 
subject. To John, there will be no further comment to you, period. 
Your goal is to alienate and divide .. I will play no part in that.
