    Dear Joseph

    there is no reason that PEATHRESH solves the kinks at 20 and 400 MeV, it
    should have no effect at all, particularly on the first.

    Please look carefully at the spectra, there is no kinks, only the expected
    physics features (quasielastic peak, evaporation peak etc).

                          Ciao
