My recollection of the caveats was related to the fact I was posting/mailing my messages to newsgroups that were not "philanthopy" related, and I am sensitive to people's attitudes of receiving what they classify as "junk mail". I don't want to be tarred with that brush. In the name of philanthropy I will take whatever people sling my way in any case. The cause is right.

I'll try and be as sensitive as possible to the possibility that it is "restricted" information, Carl. Again, I'm sorry for any pain I've caused you and your colleagues.

Sound's neat. I'd be happy to read it and discuss it with you on-line or F2F when you are in town here.

Do you want international participation? I could facilitate high level intros to potential Japanese partners, specifically.
