As Al Lowe pointed out multiple times, the survey was redone and the numbers used made it difficult to claim that the media was biased against guns, Lott used numbers that made his claim more difficult.
Anyway, it's bizarre that the group of who knows what size which continues to demand one specific major rewrite and reverts to it again and again should claim that the rest of us, who change things and disagree on things from time to time are some sort of cabal.
Al Lowe, for instance, has probably forgotten that around the time of his first appearance on this article, I was the one posting that Lott's research was notable and groundbreaking, or some such.

 New Al Lowe Interview - Adventure Forums
Interviewing Al Lowe was really great and it was challenging to come up with questions that hadn't already been done in interviews with him before.
Al has a section on his site where he updates whenever he gets new information about his possible involvement with the title-- although that seems unlikely from what's happened so far.
I was inspired to do one with Al Lowe because I had been browsing a lot of the interviews on Ugarte's Dimension of Fantasy site (not sure if that's the exact name, but it has a lot of interviews with Sierra On-line designers) and they were very random, not structured at all.

 Leisure Suit Larry 8 without Al Lowe? - Adventure Forums
On Al Lowes' site www.allowe.com and Ken Williams' site www.sierragamers.com there is speculation that Sierra is making a new Larry game but without Al.
Al Lowe said that he has no knowledge of another Larry game if Sierra is indeed making one.
Personally, if it isn't done with Al Lowe then I'm in favour of that, because I don't like being treated like a cow; just there to be milked (especially after the treatment of the last few years).

 THE EARLY ARCHEAN RECORD OF LARGE ASTEROIDAL IMPACTS ON EARTH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Initial evidence for very large impacts on the early Earth (Lowe and Byerly, Geology, 1986) was field and petrographic data from several unusual sedimentary layers in South Africa and Australia.
Recently, chromium isotopic anomalies were used to confirm an extraterrestrial component in these layers, to confirm the bolides were indeed of 20-50 km sizes, and to type one as a CV and another as untyped member of the carbonaceous chondrites (Shukolyukov et al., Impacts and the Early Earth, 2000; and Kyte et al., Geology, 2003).
All these impacts were large, comparable to those of Moon’s Late Impact Cataclysm (Tera et al., EPSL, 1974; and Ryder, Eos, 1990) at circa 3850 Ma, and likely had a profound influence on the course of physical and biological evolution on early Earth.
