Post 115665 by bookman117 deleted for the following reason: This is actually the fifth time this woman and her organization has been posted here over the years, and this version offers very little new info. Perhaps something that's not a retread of the same thing if there's a larger picture this might fit into? -- taz

Tough enough.

Post 115641 by VikingSword deleted for the following reason: Posts about research where the actual research isn't publicly available are kind of needed from the get-go; if there's some more substantial discussion available that might work for a post but shortish digestions of studies tend not be great post material. -- cortex
