Dear Jens Jorgen and Claus, Thanks for the additional time. Ahead of additional comments on the language, I want to reiterate a comment that I made previously, but has not been resolved in the latest draft: We lay out a very specific procedure for determining centrality at BRAHMS in our previous dN/dEta papers. It does NOT involve requiring a single tile hit. The tile multiplicity spectrum for hits < 4 is STRONGLY dominated by FALSE events. I agree this is not going to affect the physics of the current paper since, after all, the conclusion is that there is no centrality dependence. However, it is still a mistake to have obvious contradictions in the papers presented by the Collaboration. It is just possible that someone might be reading them! I am unable to suggest another wording for this sections since I don't know how you actually did the centrality determination. Regards, Steve
