Kenneth,
You were missed!
However, looks like there was enough interest and progress to make it worth
doing again, so we'll all have a chance to visit and you can redeem
yourself in
the eyes of ProtoBot.
Really, being reproached by your own robot .... the future has clearly
arrived.
best regards,
dpa
