RE: UF6



Nor, I might add, have I ever observed Ruth to be pompous. I'll also note,

that some could be pompous for good reason, and it would make their comments

no less relevant (although less read), while others tend to be for no good

reason.

Neither did I feel it was rude--I use the same phrase and I anticipate an

honest response. It's a reality check. There are rude and pompous responders

on this list--or at least there used to be--when I tired of reading their

comments I filtered them out and don't see them anymore. I've observed that

Ruth 1) doesn't need me or anyone else to defend her, 2) goes out of her way

to respond honestly and in great detail to comments most of us wouldn't even

acknowledge, 3) has more knowledge than most of us ever will, and offending

her will cost us, not her, and 4) has never been rude to anyone that I can

remember. I have no tolerance for rudeness from anybody, but there's also a

difference between rudeness and a strong response or even an implied or

explicit reproof where deserved.

1. Why would anyone care?

Ruth Weiner, Ph. D.



Should start a new thread titled "Former Radsafe Subscribers" to keep track

of all the folks that are driven away by Ruth Weiner's inappropriate and

pompous replies to serious inquiries.
