Thank you so much, Dean and Yoshitaka for taking the initiative.
Against a goal of 99,563 signatures, what I see that is posted thus far
is a meagre 437 ! I think, at least everyone in the AMMRL group should
sign the petition. I am also forwarding this to as many users of NMR in
my department as possible. I also suggest that you write to your
representatives (yes, I have done it).
Keeping my fingers crossed !
