From CCNet:
"Our estimate for the chance of a big impact contains some of the
same uncertainties as previous estimates. But it is clear that we should
feel somewhat safer than we did before we had the Sloan survey data."
--Zeljko Ivezic, Princeton University, 7 November 2001

"The Sloan study is a major advance in our understanding of the
gross asteroid belt structure. Their determination of the Earth impact
rate for killer asteroids agrees with soon-to-be-published results based
on data from the Spacewatch Project at the University of Arizona."
--Robert Jedicke, University of Arizona, 7 November 2001

"The observations are Main-belt asteroids (so far as they can tell
from one-night stands). So they are estimating the population of
NEAs by taking their estimate of MBAs and multiplying by some magic
factor (one in a thousand, probably) to estimate the number of NEAs. This
is complete, embarassing, BLATHER not worthy of notice by anyone on this
list."

Kind of the response I expected.
