A letter from me appears in today's THES. The justification for announcing this here is that it has taken three weeks to persuade the THES letters editor to publish a response to a graphic. The graph referred to (17 March) was merely misleading. Their graph on 3 March was a gross distortion, but the critique was refused space on the grounds that "no one else has commented." The same message has come from editors of national dailies when challenged on graphics, though they would immediately see the point if someone pointed to a misleading typo. Perhaps list-colleagues would join me in writing to publications so that the illiteracy of the general public in using or reading graphics can be highlighted to the DfEE, who are obviously turning a blind eye. Comments to me please, not to the list, or I will be blackballed. R. Allan Reese Email: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
