Happy, I was also curious about TB's earlier dismissal of the Hawkins (2002) paper but, not having access to it, I could not pursue the issue.
I think it is now up to TB to justify why Hawkins' results and conclusion should be discounted - it is rather contrary to TB's and Humphreys' assertions of earth-centred concentric shells of galaxies. I wouldn't want this topic to slip off the radar without TB responding.
