Chicago...
Chris,
I forgot to say hi at Eugene. I've talked to you at most conferences and just not realized who you were until after this last one. The conference this year pissed me off. I don't know what 2002 was like but there was a NOTABLE drift from actual hard science and engineering in the open sessions. TMS needs to get away from that.
Watching the cloud of freaks envelop Hartmann and Musk after their talks was humorous at the time but it raises serious credibility issues now that I think about it.
