I would like to echo the advice of Peter John, whom I have know for many 
years.  I too, on many occasions, have been bemused by certain discussions
(on the Internet, in published articles, and in speaking) concerning
our technology (tensiometers and granular matrix sensors), which obviously
originated from the uninformed and uninitiated.  Unforturnately, some of 
it emanating from people who should know better.  We have been in 
business since 1951, and have witnessed a good bit of damage to the 
state of the art due to this sort of behaviour.  But, what can we do except to
correct fallacy when possible, and not practice puffery.  We try to do our
best.  Curious onlookers are always welcome and should be encouraged 
to question and query.  The truth, for a given circumstance, will soon emerge.
Given enough patience.  Let's stick to the "High Road".   Amen, Brother John.
