Sarah,
I am a great admirer of Math Forum. You are doing a great job with that site!
I am very puzzeled about the access problems that you and Suzanne are
having, and I will ask our tech people to look into it immediately. Thanks
for the tip.
I am really looking forward to meeting you, Gene and Steve in Pittsburgh!
