After I published the Jeffrey article, I published a lengthy rebuttal by Randle; after I published Pflock's highly critical review of Corso's book I published Woods' less than highly critical review of same. After I criticized Leir & Sims in the August issue, I published their response in the September number. The record speaks for itself. I routinely publish material with which I personally disagree. If you want to give the Corso book the time of day, then I certainly won't stand in your way. >Rebecca has also indicated in one of her responses that there are changes >under consideration by the MUFON Journal, and I'm sure there are many on >this list that would like to know what types of changes are under >consideration. Everyone who receives the Journal got a Journal survey with their most recent issue. One of the options therein is to remove the present editor. Vote your conscience. Dennis
