Hey Wally: Better than that, why not stick it to them directly on their website? They have the refreshingly open policy of allowing anyone to submit an electronic response to their published papers. In fact, there's one there already calling them on this issue (Gallagher: Causal or casual?). (http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/113/4/708 and click on "published P3R for this article"). If I have a chance, I may do it too. The more complaints, the more likely they'll pay attention (as if!). Stephen ___________________________________________________ Stephen L.
