    Rob,

    quick comment on SC4:

    p.3 - in new (Sullivan) paragraph:

    This sentence in not clear to me. What does "leading to the conclusion
    of dark energy"
    mean? is the point that extinction can't explain the data and dark
    energy is needed? Suggest reworking this.

    Sullivan
    et al. (2003) do not detect a systematic difference
    in the magnitudes of high-redshift supernovae in
    early- and late-type galaxies that is large enough
    to allow for dust extinction as a primary contaminant
    leading to the conclusion of dark energy,
    as had been suggested previously (e.g., Rowan-
    Robinson 2002).
