I, too, find it amazing. I am amazed that you would respond to two simple yes-or-no questions and one question needing a one or two word answer with this diatribe of accusations. When and where is the proper "time and place" to provide the three or four words needed to answer these questions, if not now? Your overreactive and evasive response to these simple questions undermines your credibility on this issue, in my opinion. I think we're all eager for information but all we get from you are 600 word diatribes with no substantive content about Dr. Garg. You mention all of the research that Dr. Garg has done. Is there a place that those of us eager for information can read about this research? Look at Dr. Fink's questions which you, yourself, say are "fine". Then, look at your response. Truly amazing.
