Hey,
we can then welcome the first cyborg on the list ;-)
Hope all goes well with fixing the knees,

To the list at large: apologies for any extra crankiness that has
leaked through of late. Recently I have had the biological equivalent
of two grenades go off: the first in my left knee, followed a week
later by one of near equal violence in my right knee. Imagine soft,
slippery, gristly schrapnel.
Too may years of X-Counry running, skiing, mountain biking, and other
forms of physical abuse have suddenly, and with a stunning example of
karma, caught up with me.
Appointments with the arthropod are scheduled -- I may be walking around
on metal knees in 2009. Comments involving Complexity, knee
evolutioninsm, Agent Based Articular Mechanical System Modeling
(ABAMSM), as well as any other "Woo Woo" fuzzy Psuedo-Scientific
expostulations will be crankily ignored in the interim.
