Re: Get your tickets now!

Maury,



PLEASE!  No one is nipping at Dr. Cohen, but perhaps your teeth are

gnarled a bit at others.



If you look further, Dr. Field was responding to questions such as

those from Dr. Long and indeed Dr. Cohen.  John was stating basic

questions of substance.  Take a lesson, both Field and John offer

substantive comments rather then lowering themself to mudslinging.



Really, I tried to find an end the discussions of this topic a while

back.  Field agreed and Dr. Cohen narrowed down his list of potential

reviewers to only those who really have no expertise in ecological

studies.  Dr. Cohen has asked others for explanations why his results

do not indicate the demise of the LNT.  Don't ask if you don't want to

receive!



I understand that Dr. Cohen has spent 15 years justifying his

interpretation of his findings, but this is really taking the shape of

a holy crusade on his part.  One must wonder when criticisms of Dr.

Cohen's work are being received in the Newsletter from even Dr.

Mossman, a well know anti LNTer -and it is my understanding he is not

an epidemiologist- this has gone on far to long.



Field offered reviewers, Cohen rejected them in favor of people who

could care less about epidemiology. Field offered a substative way to

find the cause of his discrepancy. Cohen has denied he understands

what Field is talking about.  This is why we are getting nowhere.
