Dave, The Friam list remains as you can see but is sort of a trickle. I posted a couple of items about the Cooper/Colbert interview and something I can't remember but they weren't up to the high intellectual standard which engages you, Glen, Marcus, Nick, et al. Glen did comment insightfully. Nick will be back in Santa Fe soon; maybe the change in location will stimulate him.
