Hi All,

In the past few days on this List, several cheap shots or innuendos have
been made against people who I personally know.

One researcher was charged with being busted by the Feds.
Another researcher's detailed data collection was called "superficial" and
his data was implied to be suspect.
A corporate scientist suffered from innuendos that he was party to
withholding data.
The growers on the Almond Board were accused of promoting the import of
Aussie packages.

In each of these cases, I contacted the slighted person, and found no
support for the disparaging accusations.
I deplore this kind of trash talk on this List, which is supposed to be
"informed."
