Or propose deleting it. Whatever. I don't think it needs huge worldwide discussion as to what should be proposed. I would recommend going back and rereading the Brainerd-Corbett discussion first though, before writing a paper. Maybe there is some value in the statement, maybe not. If not, delete it. If there is, make it less misunderstandable somehow. Myself, I am fundamentally apathetic. Only, let's not do an "at least", if we are going to bother with it at all, let's get it right. Whatever that is... Cheers, -- ................................Malcolm Cohen, Nihon NAG, Tokyo.
