Hi Andrew,
sounds extremely interesting - all of your projects and what you refer
to in their names. Would love to hear it.
Regarding J. Edgar; it's funny because the message that arrived just
after yours in my Mail is from him. Will discuss his techniques with
him to learn as much as I can.
cheers,
Roland
