Jed's response, "Space is not the issue. Your comment was factually incorrect and misleading. A factually correct statement would not have taken up more space. You wrote 'The hype ebbed away when other researchers were unable to replicate their results.' That should say: 'Within a year, 92 groups of researchers reported they were able to replicate the results.'" Howdy Jed, Positive in that 5 reports are now in print, negative in the words "laced" within the reports. Yes, the message is present but flavored with negatives and attitude of skepticism, a product of our modern university systems inculcated into the student of journalism. Gone is the inherent responsibilty of journalists to inspire to excellence. Richard
