Dear Editor,

I observed in Kaieteur News of Friday, January  6, 2012 a letter was published captioned ‘The question of extrusion’ which I had sent for publication in early November of 2008.

The re-publication of that letter took me by surprise and I am sure it must have taken Dr Suresh Narine and his staff at the Institute of Applied Science and Technology (IAST) off guard.

To my mind what may have been of more significance was if Kaieteur News had taken time off to investigate the current production and use of clay products in the country.

I do not know the views of the reading public on the issues raised.

However, I would like to indicate that even though I have not been able to get the necessary evidence from the folks at IAST as to the claims made at that time, I am of the opinion that it is not important enough to occupy the pages of the national press again.

Yours faithfully,
Elton McRae
