Earlier this morning I received an email from Brignell complaining that a pre-amble warning readers about Lambert's blog posts kept being removed. (It is posted above). After Diane removed the latest addition of this, a few hours later 206.248.68.77 removed the entire section on Brignell and his views on DDT, the ozone hole and a Lancet study. I reverted this and have rewritten the section. I'll post a note offline to Brignell explaining the reasons. --[[User:Bob Burton|Bob Burton]] 01:07, 30 Sep 2005 (EDT)

I've removed the following from the article as it was not written to meet SourceWatch editorial conventions:
Note: If you have a solid understanding of complex statistics, check out
the explanation of relative risk on Brignall's site and you will see that
he clearly demonstrates why a relative risk of 1.5 is not significant. He
is not just quoting some book, he produces the mathematics. Tim Lambert
clearly does not understand complex statistics. Either that, or he has a
personal agenda. [Jim Smith, B.Maths (Newcastle)]
