Thanks Peter ... I this is a great site and will be adding a lot more over time and poking through to see what is here. I am going to be speaking right after Yassar at the poptech.com conference and his description of this site drew me to it.
Thank you for contributing such detail with your spotting. A wonderful first submission! Welcome to Project Noah, Gale.
