I did get a personal reply from Anu when I wrote in my initial comment (Ooooh! ), asking me for citations, after which I provided the URLs. He edited my original comments quite a bit, but that's the Power we keep talking about in the Great and Powerful Anu.
It's kind of interesting - I've gotten some emails from people I haven't heard from in a while, people I didn't know to be AWAD subscribers! The phone will be ringing off the hook any minute now to fill my schedule for public appearances... any minute... any minute, I tell you!
