Hi Tom - thanks for the kind words in your blog post. I've been a long time subscriber to DRSIG out of ANU, and I've always appreciated your interesting comments on that list, too.

Sorry Tom, I thought you like to keep the threads together. I have to. Normally I'd expect to see my comment pop up with your reply on your blog (if you were interested). I tend to have conversations in the old open area. http://www.groups.edna.edu.au/mod/forum/index.php?id=40
