Re: Jose Ortiz-Echague and Fresson
Chris, I don't remember having a disagreement with Sandy . . . the two of us can be rather direct which I suppose could come across as a disagreement . . . not that it would every matter to me but do you happen to recall who won ? (Please note that if in your opinion I clearly won the disagreement please reply to the alt list otherwise send me a private reply . . . obviously it should detail the particulars of the tie.) It is difficult to discern fact from conjecture when reading any of the literature in that the fundamental process had been kept a secret. Speaking for myself I enjoy debating the historical accounts and believe that healthy discussion leads to better insight on everyone's part. This list and APIS have been an invaluable resource for new information, ideas and valued debate. In any event I don't have my reference materials with me and therefor I can't be certain if I have a copy of that particular article. I'll check this week- end. I sincerely appreciate the offer.
