Interesting point. Thanks Mya.

(PS: Did you check to see if this could be posted in public? I wouldn't have thought it would matter with a comment like that, but a couple of times in the past not checking has caused trouble.)

Me: How do we convince the scientists (retrovirologists) that we have not answered all the questions yet and we still need more research on XMRV?

I imagine they understand this even better than we do. :) The people we need to convince are the media and the politicians, who don't have a sound understanding of virology.

No I didn't. It did not seem like anything we already did not know some scientists were thinking. What kind of trouble? Maybe I should delete this.

Didn't mean to cause a trouble. Some researchers assume that e-mails like this are to be made public, others assume they're private corresponance. For this e-mail, I don't think he would mind, but it's probably politer to ask.
