I've seen a couple of your postings - welcome! What a cool job - I've never met anyone in that field before. I'm going to have to take advantage of your presence and figure out what questions to pester you with.

Finally getting around to say hi.
BTW it's nice to have a REAL scientist on the forum. If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
