HI Scott, I don't think it's abusing the list to bring up topics of discussion. I was just noticing that I was finding myself being more reserved in my answer than if someone had simply asked "what's the McMaster correction and when do I need it"?. I haven't looked at your book chapters partly out of lack of time and partly because I've been asked to write up tutorial information myself. I find this negative effect of copyright and "authorship" -- that I'm actually *less* willing to read others work and discuss these topics openly -- interesting. --Matt On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Scott Calvin wrote:

I apologize if I have abused the list while working on my text. I will find a different channel for raising these questions and requests once the current discussion is complete.

Hope that helps.    I have to admit I'm a little uneasy with the frequency of "I've been pondering..." discussion topics alternating with requests to review book chapters, and find myself being more cautious in my response than I would if someone was actually asking a question.   On the other hand, I don't think anyone would object if you added a button to Athena that normalized the data in a way that included a correction for the expected decay of mu(E).
