Thanks, Bob! Indeed I did.

I'm a peaceful man and prefer the pursuit of peaceful sports. Those involving teams and balls of any sort tend to be deleterious to one's body and promote violence by both spectators and participants. The shooting sports, however, tend to promote self control and are peaceably participated in by those who know that their greatest challenge is their need to continually hone their own abilities.

Bob, thank you for writing these. I can appreciate the effort that goes in, especially when there is a lot of test data involved, like the Disco port size effect series you included in this 4th article.
Thanks again
