Bill, first, I am not the one who has been voted to accept or reject
anything. If someone puts forward some data, I and the rest of the
clarinet playing world are going to look at it with a hard eye. So I
want to avoid letting you know in advance what my attitude will be for
evidence that has not yet been put forward.

I'm just a simple country boy and you are a city slicker trying to get
me to sign away the oil rights to my Oklahoma property.
