st: Responding to a Reviewer's Concern about an Ado

["Michael C. Morrison" <Morrimic@niacc.edu>]

A reviewer of a proposed publication of mine is questioning the use of a 
user-written program that I utilized in the analysis. I'm not sure if 
the reviewer is familiar with Stata and ados.

This particular ado is the primary tool utilized in a Sage publication 
regarding the subject at hand (which I will point out to the editor and 
through him to the reviewer.) I'm wondering, how does one find the 
number of downloads of the ado through ssc. I know there are other ways 
that users can obtain ados but I suspect ssc downloads would give me a 
decent number of people using the program. Any other ideas would be 
appreciated. In advance. Thanks.

Mike
