Greg and Stephen: I have been absent for a while due to server problems and I greatly missed Orion. I have been keeping "up on" DSS studies since I was one of the first people in the United States to see and partially translate one. Orion is one of the finest resources available for DSS discussions and both of you have contributed considerably in your own areas of interest. Those of us in science are fully aware of the complexities of AMS dating and of the problems in applying this technique to the scrolls. I have learned a great deal more, particularly from the statistical evaluation standpoint, from your exchanges. It is apparent to me that science is being used as a "tool" to feed an animosity that is taking up both of your energies and preventing the type of exchanges that both of you are capable of. All of us on Orion are the losers. Please step back, take a few breaths, don't worry further about who said what or who should apologiize to whom and take your exchanges back to neutral ground. We will all benefit. God bless both of you for your positive contributions.
