Junebug: In reading the latest posts here, I realize that I' am sending this late and need to catch up at once. Yesterday I was overwhelmed by work schedules and traveling. I would like to express all my thanks for the never-ending work you put in, and send best wishes for your birthday from the later time zones of Europe.

I am delighted to see the enormous interest that is developing in HIMR, backed up by the solid DD always going on here (with special appreciation for the work done recently by Noopners and Beliceno on the registration data for our JV partners). My impression is that battle against basher brigade on the other board is slowly but surely being won. That will count for a lot in the next three weeks.
