Helen et al.,

I can't let this go uncommented. Even though this paper was 
accepted (I know, I was the editor) I disagree with the conclusion
that hot loops are fuzzier. Yes, that's what you see, but it is
also explainable if the hot parts of the AR have many fine threads
(unresolved at present resolution) with a large filling factor.
That as the conclusion Joan and I came to from analyzing 284A
data.

Anyway, this won't be settled until we fly an imager with higher
resolution. We're proposing one this year and I'm hoping we get
the chance to clear this up, finally.
Cheers,

Leon
