Hello Steve,

Just got back awhile ago (had to go to a funeral- a sad one, a 25 year
old kid killed in a motorcycle wreck) and reread this and realize it
was a bad choice of words.  I misinterpreted your meaning and missed
your desperate desire to have hard numbers.  I should have said
something like "It doesn't matter that there are no hard numbers. For
the purposes of this review...etc, etc"

I DO understand your argument and reasoning that a uniform system of
communication is desirable, and don't really disagree.  It's a worthy
goal in your area of endeavor.  But what I hope you can come to
understand is that I'm not playing in the same game.  

You imply that the paper review could be "improved" if only I would
use a spectro so the results could be "communicated" better.  I know
this makes perfect sense to you and you are probably shaking your head
in wonder how I could not understand something so obvious.  Please try
to grasp that I do understand what you're saying, but that I do not
agree the communication would be improved by doing that.  Our goals
are not the same.  


Regards,
Clayton
