SOME OF OUR READER'S COMMENTS
1988
GTM, Professor, Univ. of Illinois, Chicago, IL: "I am very much impressed with your material 'Adhesion and its Ten Commandments'."
1990
RM, Norfolk, VA: "I enjoy reading your essays in "Phoenix" and find them to be refreshing intelligent. I particularly like your debunking of mechanical myths that persist in our profession, propagated by supply companies and clinicians who lack a basic engineering background... There are still a lot of false idols that need smashing."
1991
SBF, Professor, U. of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA: "I am enclo-sing the copy coupon regarding additional quarterly newsletters as they become available. I have used these for both classes so that our residents may get a better perspective on the metallurgy and other characteristics of our orthodontic appliances as you have described them in your quarterly letters. We appreciate this service and are looking forward to forth-coming issues."
1992
BCJ, Professor, U. of Connecticut, Farmington, CT: "I agree with your conclusion that brackets, using present techniques, cannot be overly reduced in mesial distal width for many reasons including friction."
BM, Professor, West Virginia Univ., Morgantown, WV: "Your quarterly 'Phoenix without Ashes', has been brought to my attention by Dr. Kitchen. I found the recent article concerning corrosion to be useful for demonstrating the problems with gold-plating oral appliances."
LAN, Coral Gables, FL: "Thank you for your excellent newsletter. Please continue to send your informative, educational newsletter to our office."
RH, Professor, Univ. of Alabama, Birmingham: "I have read some of the articles in your publication and have enjoyed reading them."
KG, Chairman, T-3J Unit Committee, Du Pont de Nemours, Beaumont, TX: "I read with interest your September 1992 newsletter regarding microbiological attack of orthodontic appliance adhesives and alloys respectively. I fully agree that there appears to be parallels between MIC (Note: Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion) in industry and MIC in the mouth. This infor-mation would be of interest to the NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) community."
KJS, Lakewood, CO: "Keep it comin'! It's great to have a medium to cut through the ad hype !"
RM, Professor, Univ. of Inns-bruck, Austria: "I was a very inte-rested reader of your 'Phoenix', one of my favorite sources of information on bracket technology... I would like to invite you to give a course..."

LJL, Coos Bay, OR: "'Phoenix' has had some really good ideas and discussions in the past; keep up the good work."
SBF, Professor, Univ. of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA: "I want to thank you again for sending your periodical to our students at Penn. It gives a different perspective than the manufacturers would like and exemplifies the old saying that "there are two sides to every question."
1993
RPE, Professor, Univ. of Stellenbosh, S. Africa: "I have enjoyed receiving your quarterly publication 'Phoenix' "...
STM, Professor, Univ. of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN: "Good luck in your continued efforts to make some sense of all the confusion between mechanics and mytology."

GTM, Professor, U. of Illinois, Chicago., IL: "I found your article on magnets very interesting and I think the materials makes excellent background for anybody about to undertake their use. I certainly learned a good deal and have already read a lot on the subject."
PWR, Professor, Univ. of N. Carolina: "Thanks for sending me the material on the straight wire appliance that you plan to publish. I find it an entirely appropriate reaction to the tremendous overstatements made by the proponents of the appliances..."
HJL, Walnut Creek, CA: "I always enjoy your informative articles in your newsletter. As the director of a study group of 25 dentists who meet monthly, I am always looking for informative speakers. The metallurgy and chemistry of orthodontic appliances is a subject we've never had addressed to us."
SBF, Professor, U. of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA: "I was pleased to receive the latest issue of 'Phoenix without Ashes' and enjoyed reading your review of the early days. You've certainly done your home work!"
1994
BD, La Mesa, CA: "I really enjoy your newsletter. I always read it and it is very interesting".
SBF, Professor, U. of Pennsylvania, Philadephia, PA: "While I have only spoken with a few faculty with engineering degrees from other departments, my impression is that they are involved with research in relatively narrow areas and do not express (to me, at least) the breadth of knowledge reflected in your discussions about the alloys we use".
CGJ, Editor, Provo, UT: "From contacts with my orthodontists friends, and reading your newsletter, I am impressed with what you have accomplished, and congratulate you for your efforts. Your and our activities appear to have many similarities".

AWA, Oak Brook, IL: "I wanted to take a moment to thank you for developing your newsletter 'Phoenix' and now 'Insider'... I feel your news letter can provide an invaluable service to the orthodontic profession. With manufacturers interested in selling their products, not in testing them, and the journals willingness in spreading the disinformation about these products, an alternative source of information is needed, and I feel your newsletter would be an excellent choice. Thank you and keep the good work."
HJK, Sydney, Australia: "As a son of a metallurgist who commanded international respect during his wor-king years, I can relate to many of the articles that you publish. The physical properties of the alloys that we use, the quality control (or lack of) and the seemingly cavalier approach of many companies when selling what appear to be untested products onto the market are all things to which I can relate. In my view, your publication goes a long way to provide information that seems to be lacking in any other form of professional publication."
CA, Editor, Barcelona, Spain: "I have received several issues of your 'Phoenix without Ashes' and lately the December issue of the 'Orthodontic Materials Insider'. I am very interested in receiving it also in the future... I would like to publish in our Journal one or more articles on brackets, and I think that your work can be very inte-resting for our readers. Or would you give us the permission to publish a translation of information already appeared in the "Insider" or in former articles?"

SBF, Professor, Univ. of Pennsylvania, Philadephia, PA: "Recently, I have been musing about these contributions as well as your publications in American J. Orthod. and wonder if you've ever considered either writing a book on your own, or else finding a knowledgeable kindred soul to collaborate."
