Ar-Pharazon, at work and wishing for one of these

Currently the CMB is on my list of hates since I failed to answer correctly both the questions on it in my exam the other day.

That would be cool... then you could refer to it in your original article, since it is relevant.

Still casting about for something to write on myself (and time to do it in)...

Always happy to find others who like astronomy

Oh, hey, just noticed you already footnoted your paper. Cool.

Nice job on the article BTW.

thanks...
