Attached is my response to your analysis. Would you be willing to post this in the comment section?

He can't post because he needs an invitation to set up an account - I propose we don't give him that invitation since it's all crazy talk... (his 300+ page Bayesian analysis of the origin is a good example..) [Kristian Andersen] What's important about the two markets / two lineages isn't the fact that there are two lineages - it's that you have two independent lineages associated with two different markets. It's highly unlikely that a lab escape - of all places - would be associated with two different markets. [Robert Garry] I'm either going to A. ignore Dr. Quay or B. tell him that I'm going to forward the emails to virological administration. I'll follow @Andrew Rambaut advice on this. I'm leaning to A. [Andrew Rambaut] Most people get so frustrated with not being able to find the register button that they end up emailing me. [Robert Garry] So, option C is pointing him to the register button. Quay is clearly off way base, but "allowing" him to post at least shows we're not afraid to take on a challenge. [Kristian Andersen] I'd just ignore him. Then Andrew can ignore him. [Andrew Rambaut] There is no register button
