    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
