    Hej Zhongbao,
    Thanks for the comments, I have taken most of them and put them in.
    There is still some discussion about whether we should use Rapidity or 
    Pseudorapidity in the title (and a few other places).
    Your vote is important and has been counted!
    Thanks again,
    Ian

    Yes.  (and we have!)

    You are correct.  Still, we need not be so pedantic, I think.

    I think this is too fine a hair to split in a Letter.

    I do not agree.  40-60 is in fact the most peripheral data in our 
    sample.

    Isn't this obvious?  If things scale as expected (with Nbin) then this 
    should be near 1.  Or have I just been
    looking at this for too long?

    OK

    but these are a special class of colliisons...nice catch, it is fixed!
