You may be a bit hard on the NDT folks, because you grew up (debate wise)
on the CEDA circuit with a lot of people, and now are "new" on the NDT
circuit. However, your salute to our community spirit is well taken.

The thing that always really makes me happy at NDI during the summer is to
see 90+ CEDA students from all different kinds of programs, all different
experience levels, and all different parts of American society working
together and helping each other. It is this sort of community of friends
and colleagues which we need to try and promote at every phase of our
activity.

I believe this was the substance of a posting by Josh Hoe just recently
that I was, probably, overly critical of.

Too bad SMS (administration) can't afford to do both.
