Nothing > came of my offer. I should clarify/correct this statement. What I was trying to say was that I believed Philip to be telling the truth as he knew it when he told me the GLJ had embargoed the study. On the issue of whether it was Rimm or the GLJ that had insisted on (what amounted to) an embargo, I have believed it was Rimm ever since the first week or so of my own investigation into the chain of events. --Mike
