And lazy?

I assume they were free to create their own reference to Wilhelm's 
reports, as the Bairs have done on InkJetArt.com. I was able to find 
there the 50-year result Martin mentioned in his response to me, and 
I appreciate the Bairs making it available.

My own case of the slows is so advanced that I try never to complain 
about anyone else. And I regard Henry Wilhelm, without knowing him, 
as a fellow sufferer. But I do find it frustrating that he himself 
apparently hasn't provided access to his previously published 
reports, which I think are very useful even now.
