Dear Peter,


Just a couple of comments on your draft:

1. Your text has been carefully worded and the key phrase is at the
end of the first paragraph: 
"..., there is growing confidence in the HI community that this
evidence may be within reach"

"may be" really says nothing; dare you write "is"?


2. I am puzzled by the improvement in jaypsi suppression:
one gets much smaller stat &syst errors by changing the
comparison data, not the main jaypsi data. This sounds
very mysterious to me: one talks about measuring jaypsi,
but suddenly the results improves tremendously though one
does not get any new data for jaypsi! 

But actually I cannot suggest any change of the text at 
this point.


3. At the end of 2. "new data of unprecendented precision"
is definitely an overstatement. Please, calm down this phrase!


4. In the beginning of 3 the reference to temperatures from
lattice QCD really does not say anything. "close to" is not
specified and both lattice QCD and data have big errors (and
anyway lattice QCD results are not at these baryon numbers).
I might delete this sentence.


I am actually quite interested in seeing how various
people react to you rather thoughtful summary. 
Do you plan to distribute the replies?

Regards,

Keijo Kajantie
