Mike,
Thanks for sharing your excellent work. I am eager to see what the response is to some of these postings such as yours and the earlier piece by Tony Kortens that are more substantive and longer pieces than have been the rule in the past. Hopefully, our forum will be enlivened with an occasional think piece exploring topics of interest in our field and still be a place for casual interactions as well. Good luck with the feedback you get (thanks for including your own e-mail ) from this "public" posting of your work in progress. Charlie
