Keith, Martin, and the rest of the list,
Where did I hear about this? That is a good question. I recall hearing or
reading something about the topic maybe as much as a year ago, but at this
point, I can't say I'm too sure. I'll check my sources and see if I can't
turn anything up. If I don't find anything here with me, I'll see if
there's anything else when I'm home for the holidays.
Cheers,
Zach Zaletel
