I appreciate your reading the entire work. It was written for a web site of medical professionals and is more a thesis than easy reading - so I fully understand the difficulty in the flow.

It was a hard task - trying to accurately portray the thoughts and theories of MA (for whom I developed a great deal of affection)and make such complicated virology readable to the public.

I hope that I had some success in both goals.

If you want more people to read it, you ought to merge the files - constantly paging is irritating, esp. with satellite download delay.

Nevertheless, I found MA’s narrative rigorously empirical, lucid and cmpelling. She is correct, I fear - a bio-variant of Niven/Pournelle’s ‘Lucifer’s Hammer’ is likely to strike at some not distant time.

Thanks for posting.
