Dear Michael,

Sorry to have been a bit slow in responding. Today is the deadline for the NSF DLI2 applications, so it was a bit frantic around here for a while ;)

I'm going to respond to your questions on a clause by clause basis: one per message. This makes the review and 'threading' of the web discussion a lot easier.

If you (or anyone else) have follow up questions, please post them in response to the specific message.

Thanks.
