Thanks. I've been FAFIATED by dire economic circumstances of late (I'm still
interested in coming to extro5, and may be able to come up with a air ticket so
if Shaun is still in need of volunteers, I'm still draftable, though in a bit
of a quantum state at the moment. Sorry about this all. My Datamann mail
account I couldn't access from home the last month or so, and the technical
guys there were all on business trips and so I couldn't IP tunnel in there to
check the email..... I just downloaded 3400 email messages that had piled up
and am slashing and burning through them now...
