I am sorry to be unable at the moment to spend the time it will take for
me to respond to Bill Hamilton's and Glenn Morton's posts on coal. This
is of fundamental importance to our collective view of origins, and I
want to put some thought into this one. I should have a post ready to
put up by Sunday night.
Thank you for your interest,
Bill
