Dear Robin,

Hope its ok to express to the list my appreciation of your posts. Thank you
for sharing this very interesting report on the Yale Meeting and also for
the :beauty: of the presentation.  Enjoying the links as well as the frontal
matter. Is there perhaps a doc or html or plain-text etc. version of your
slides? Would like to share them with folks who prefer that.

Best wishes, LDMF.
