Johannes and everyone,

Ditto to Kent and Dawn's comments - I'm hoping to be more active come the 
autumn when I finally get a sabbatical from the all-consuming university 
management mill...  It's good to see that everyone is still in the loop, even 
if quietly.

Best wishes,
Sita

Johannes,

        I am with Dawn on this one. Life has taken me some strange places in 
the many years we have all been at this. I may not find much time to contribute 
any more, but I still like to lurk and keep up with the old gang, and the new.
