Re: TMI and Mr. Cohen

[Norm Cohen <ncohen12@comcast.net>]

Dear Radsafers,

 

Thanks for your comments on TMI. I'll be passing them back to TMI Alert. 

Thanks for politely calling me 'Mr Cohen' instead of 'That Whacko 

Anti-nuker' ;-).



To the person who wondered if was smarter than all the experts, my 

answer is - of course not, only half of them -.

Please note that when I posted the TMI article I did not comment one way 

or the other on it. That means I'm just posting an article that some of 

you might find interesting, or perhaps, irritating.
