comments from Brian Boyle

Dear all,

Brian Boyle (PI of 2dF quasar survey) came to my talk at Macquarie University. He seemed to like our analysis. His main comment was: "Have you tried repeating your correlation function analysis by replacing the scambled redshifts with a smoothed redshift distribution?" This is what I gathered you (Boud) have done these last few days (extrapolating from Boud's often cryptic messages). I answered that we are in the process of doing just that, and our *** preliminary *** result is that the 125 h-1 Mpc feature comes out strongly in the 1st z-bin, but that we did not have yet any conclusion on Omega,Lambda.

cheers

Gary
