Norm is correct about my posting news, and Norm is also correct in stating that he, and 

anyone else, have the right to post any nuclear related news item that is distributed to 

the public. Several years ago I was asked in a private E-Mail, that I should not post 

unfavorable news items, items that were anti-nuclear. My response then, as it is now, is 

that we in the industry need to be cognizant of what is being written about us, around us 

and over us. It is only with this knowledge are we able to be better prepared to address, 

discuss and promote an adequate response. We are essentially in a war, and, as in all 

wars, information is necessary. We need to be aware of the positive, the negative and 

the multitude of dis-information that exists. To do otherwise is simply relegating our 

industry to be the primary proponent of the "Ostrich Society", where all of its members 

can be easily found with their heads in the sand, and their asses up in the air. I don't 

think this position is very flattering. Does anyone?
