Linda and other leppers,

Don't jump on Neil Jones; just argue out the science. 

	That is NOT what Mr. Jones was doing!  He
	invites stinging replies with his abrasive
	and offensive manner.  He says he doesn't
	want to start a flame war, then proceeds
	to insult and offend.

	In his reply regarding releases he did not
	ARGUE THE SCIENCE.  He called names:
	lawbreakers, dubious salesmen, untruth
	peddlers, and accused people of
	deliberate deceit and not knowing subject.
	He discredits in a petty fashion to convince
	the reader to take his opinion.  Or, he's
	"protecting" them from lying carpetbaggers
	(since the reader's not intelligent enough to
	read for themselves and form their own
	opinion).  The "Bimbo and Rambo" comment,
	was that ARGUING SCIENCE??  This sort of
	attack and negative behavior does not open
	the door to learning nor to any thoughtful
	dialog between groups.
