Thanks. Sorry I'm so irked by 'impact factors', but I just rarely hear 
people declare how poor a statistic they are when mentioning them. 
You've gone a long way to redress that imbalance on your website now :)


There are however probably a fair few people out there that still might 
not know about these problems, so hopefully with this discussion and the 
notes on your website we might further raise awareness of its 
inappropriateness and detrimental effect on the evaluation of science.


Many thanks,


Ross
