Editor's note: Letters in the Journal are, at present, a mixed bag of comments on articles published in the Journal, short research reports and expressions of opinion. Comments on articles are often referred to the authors of the article that prompted the letter for their response, which is then published. Letters that present research are often sent for review. Letters that are expressions of opinion are not reviewed; their content remains the responsibility of the letter writer.
