I'm unsure whether I can post the full text here due to copyright. Here is a link to the PDF containing the six appraisals:

I've also got this link which has the six letters as well as some free full text links to the references the respondents use in their appraisals.

Sarah, that 5 to 1 was exactly what went through my mind, too. Thought of emailing Feder to ask if he saw the writing on the wall. How glib his responses were, but if you read them carefully, he didn't really address the questions.

While most of these are REPLIES to the original article, it's good to see something from ILADS members. I saw them (text) on another post a day or two ago.
