Re: Radsafe purpose & intimidation
Sandy, et. al.
It is quite unfortunate that there are thought police in this world. One
of the strengths of RadSafe is its members and their comments/opinons!! I
have learned far more about current Nuclear Power issues, the status of
happenings in Chernobyl and the Pros and Cons on the validity of the Linear
Hypothesis of Radiation Injury by sitting at the feet of the masters!! We
are all very fortunate to have access to your thoughts and insight.
Recently someone remarked to me that they really appreciated and enjoyed
the articles you put up on RadSafe. Please continue to do so. If we don't
want to read them ... the delete key works just fine.
Those who think that they hold the only opinion on an issue are probably
WRONG. Just go to RADSAFE and see. Where else does one get an offer of
$$$$ to refute a position and an offer to then be a co-author of the paper
that refutes that position!! No where but RADSAFE.
Al Tschaeche said it best" ...... I find radsafe ... USEFUL and .....
feel like part of a family...." The FAMILY nature of our discussions is
what will make our community grow and become stronger.
Again, Thanks for all of your efforts. Also, THANKS for letting us know
about the note you received. We all need to be aware of those types of
threats to our profession and freedoms.
