Hi Brian,

	Never fear.  There is always somebody willing and able to step in 
and fill a void.  None of us are indispensable.  I notice that there are 
good physics (and other science) sites popping up all the time.  There 
are times when retirement to the banks of something sounds inviting. <g>
	Do you know of any site that has a good data bank of labs 
written with an emphasis on MBL usage?
