  Both dilepton and charm production at RHIC are considered to be important
signatures for Quark-Gluon Plasma production. Recently it was argued by
S.Gavin, P.L.McGaughey,P.V. Ruuskanen and R.Vogt that the background from
semileptonic correlated charm decays is so large that it makes dilepton
measurements virtually impossible. We show that this conclusion in fact is in
fact reversed if the energy loss due to secondary interaction of charmed quarks
is included.
