[kthomas]

Thank you for taking the time to share your story, Dan. I really 
appreciate it and I think your story/experiences will help me get 
something going. At least I'll have more to talk about and someone will 
have to listen. :-) Frequently, large organizations, like universities, 
don't like to do something that no-one else is doing. At least around 
here.
