One fellow made an excellent point in that you won't get anywhere
unless you get going. If one waits for the ideal conditions the
opportunity may pass by. Thus, I have 10 in hand from a diverse
group of Kincaids. Perhaps in time I'll bag a good sample size
of open participants.

I must note that I visited your Stidham site and found your presentation
very useful.

Best wishes!
