In answer to several of you, yes, by all means, if you want to, feel free to repost, link to, forward, whatever. And even, should you like (post #86) forward as a letter to the editor (I suppose you can just say where and who it came from and "submitted with permission," or something like that). I'm easy. Again, thanks everyone. I'm incredibly flattered and humbled.
