	---There is no need to pay me for my part of the deal, and I will 
provide the $2500 for the other half of the deal if the criticisms are
specific and susceptible to quantitative modelling (so I can do
calculations on them). Simple name-calling, like "everyone knows that
ecological studies are no good", doesn't serve as a reason for rejection. 
The problem is to arrange for publication.
