Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users
to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response
is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual
response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the
browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published
online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed.
Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles.
The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being
wilfully misrepresented as published articles or when it is brought to our
attention that a response spreads misinformation.
From March 2022, the word limit for rapid responses will be 600 words not
including references and author details. We will no longer post responses
that exceed this limit.
The word limit for letters selected from posted responses remains 300 words.
I hesitate to dignify Eugene Terreblanche with a reply,
(email to his stated address bounces), but for the
record, I use Apache on Linux to serve my website,
and Zope on Linux for my blog. All are free software,
which is the way to
go I think.
Although I don't promote Microsoft anywhere on my site,
I still use their
browser on the Mac a lot, through force of habit. I'm not
sure that I'm
the zealot Eugene implies. Perhaps he is thinking of
someone else?
