Dear David,

This is your real first name isn't it?? If you're going to cite someone, get your figures correct: that was 44lbs, not 55lbs! I suspect there was a lot of pabulum floating around in the 60s as in any other age; no one is ever safe from the dreaded pabulum, and in fact what constitutes pabulum does change from time to time. People once thought the world was flat, and the notion of it being round was no doubt pabulum. By the way, what scientific basis was there for the figure someone cited in an earlier post that insomnia is 90% mental!! I agree that Hope needs to learn to use hedges and preview her opinions with "in my opinion", "in many cases", "under certain conditions", etc, just like scientists do when they're talking about things close to their hearts!! Under no circumstances ever ever say 'absolutely'.

all the best to the sleepless and the sleepy,
anna
