Hi Carl,

Thanks for the reply. That is good to know. It would be nice if they
would hold a future conference somewhere in Florida, perhaps at a
beach resort in the tourist off-season. That way everyone could
network and do serious science, and then afterwards have a margarita
on the beach and watch the bikinis. Maybe someone could put a bug in
the ears of the people who plan the conferences. :)

Best regards,

MikeG
