More like a referee. It is very active, solid core group, lots of foot traffic, the occasional barking lunatic. I enjoy it there for the most part. Your style was a welcomed repreve.

I'm pleased that we've been featured two times in EZ Board's Community Spotlight. In 2005 we'll have some ads in various science magazines, such as Scientific American. Whether or not this marketing method will work is a mystery, but one worth exploring.
