Dear Jim, as i said before i admire your knowledge base. It is truly beyond my ability to comment on, as is Dr Carpinelli’s.

What I’m curious about is why do you not put forth the same statement to Dr. Carpinelli? Have you read Carpinelli’s review of my paper? Do you honestly believe that Carpinelli’s review “moves forth a healthy, respectful, open hearted dialogue that works to find meaningful solutions?” ‘ The reason I… Read more »
