Thanks for the informative NIH Access Battle

Dear ER,

Your blurb was very informative and I agree, access to the public is a good thing.  It can demonstrate progress and reassure skeptics that scientists are not using funding and research simply for themselves and not the public good.  My only caveat to this is that can other groups copy and steal information? I know its unethical but we know people have done it in the past and well, human nature is a strange thing.
