Anthony,

My assertion was not based solely on the views and experience of Peter
Murray-Rust, as those who read the PDF file will see. I don't doubt
that the RSC and the ACS would disagree, but feel free to send me some
names of scientists you know who would disagree. I am more than happy
to hear their views.

Richard: I wonder how you know that Aspesi is right. It seems a daring
assertion. Much as I admire Peter M-R, I do not see him as
representative of the views of the large chemistry community to which
he belongs. I wonder if the RSC or the ACS have any evidence on this
point.

Anthony
