Why don't you just have the guts to put your sources there and let
everyone draw their own conclusions.

That is what I did -- write it down, with citations and then let
everyone take potshots at it.

It is one thing to make statements and back them up -- it is another
just to dream this stuff up.

I never criticize anyone's efforts, but I feel that any researcher has
the right to disagree with another if they can back it up.

Frankly I don't know what Barbara Gregory is talking about, but would
be glad to listen -- again if she or you or anyone else can provide
documented evidence.

Best Wishes!
