You betcha, Pam. :) I was starting to get pale spending those long
hours sitting in computer clusters in the basement of buildings at MIT
working the queue....
I've finally been inspired by this thread (not sure why this thread
did the trick while others in the past have not) to come out of
emeritus status for a while, at least to help train. We've had a
number of volunteers stalled in the pipeline for a long time now. I'm
making a commitment of my time to try to un-stall the pipeline by
doing whatever is necessary within reason. I've already exchanged
quite a bunch of email over this weekend with David Lamb and others,
so I'm fairly hopeful, although of course I cannot make any promises.
