Dee, I forwarded you my reply to Christy's email to me and it helps explain what I know. I didn't get into the "toxin study alternative" because I got so mad and he didn't want to talk to me. I tried to assure him I wasn't angry at him personally, but I have to shout sometimes to talk at all I would be glad to take a lie detector test on this. It was definitely an attempt to misrepresent PAN's position. He got the wrong person.. I wish the public knew about these games. Why mention PAN at all?
