Abstract
Abner Shimony has always followed with great attention the investigations about Spontaneous Dynamical Reduction. His interest1 in the subject and his deep remarks,1,2 besides having represented a valuable encouragement for people involved in such a program have stimulated the clarification of some important points. We recall his having raised “the tail problem” which led to some recent attempts of a new “interpretation” of the formalism. 3–6 It is quite natural that people like us have particularly deep motivations to express their appreciation for his important contributions to the subject.
