I am pleased to respond to the letter from Simon Burgess commenting on my article, “Misidentification of Major Constituents by Automatic Qualitative Energy Dispersive X-ray Microanalysis: A Problem That Threatens the Credibility of the Analytical Community” (Newbury, 2005). First, I am grateful for the words of support for my article, even if inevitably qualified, expressed in Mr. Burgess's letter. In response to his specific comments (in boldface), I offer the following:
