Could you please take the recommendations of this list (as it is most
probably the same for every list) not only to hit the return key and to

netiquette. Any newcomers to the list are otherwise very welcome.

My mother tongue is not English (or American), but I cannot help to observe
that your messages contain a surprising number of misspellings, which in my
opinion do not reflect limited knowledge of the English language. Moreover
I miss your signature and your affiliation. 

Furthermore I cannot believe that the AEC asked somebody like Gofman to
study levels of safe doses - would you please provide us with his findings?
It is the privilege of scientists to research and to adjust their opinions
according to the findings of research results. Since 1963 a lot has changed
and so has the knowledge about the effects of low-level radiation.  

Again I delete most of your unnecessary copies. Please do so in the future.
