RE: Mechanisms are Needed to Explain Cohen's Data

["Wes Van Pelt" <wesvanpelt@ATT.NET>]

Bill and all,



You expressed the opinion that you are tired of reading about the radon LNT

debate here on Radsafe.



I believe that this issue is the only really important radiation safety

issue of our time. While it may not be resolved on Radsafe, the debate

serves as a very useful discussion arena for ideas, data, theories, etc.

Billions of dollars may be spent in the future over what many believe to be

inconsequential doses.  Even though only a few of us routinely post on this

topic, many of us are listening and interested.



Respectfully,

Wes

IMHO, this whole radon-LNT gig is getting tiresome, and should be classified

as much sound and fury signifying nothing.  Furthermore, the participants

seem confined to a few individuals, which is a strong indication that my

opinion is NOT an outlier.



I thus respectfully request that the participants take their debate to

another forum.



BTW, it may be healthier for those involved to switch to a more worthwhile

activity, e.g., watching sitcoms.



The opinions expressed are strictly mine.

It's not about dose, it's about trust.
