   Dear All,
   This is my final email for a while--hopefully this is the end of this. Attached is a
   revised and expanded statement of response to the paper, having seen more of the details
   now. please feel free to use it in any way that may be helpful.
   After having gone over their posted analysis and procedure, I've refined my comments
   further--some of my previous conclusions about what they have done were not correct. The
   main problem is a bit more subtle, probably having to do w/ how the Reconstructed Principal
   Components are scaled. My attached comments deal with both the scientific problems w/ what
   they have done, and the problems w/ the lack of any legitimate scientific peer review...
   The mainstream media doesn't seem to be biting at this thing, but you can be sure there
   will be an attempt to use this inside the beltway...
   cheers,
   mike
