greetings all, I would like to echo Fran's comment. As one of the interested, enthusiastic, alert Vort cheerleaders, I'd encourage all you young (ish) players capable of playing the game to keep right on (nicely!). I am a scientist, but an old retired biologist who, like many are Physics challenged and Mathematically helpless in this game. Having just read Dr. Hagelstein's excellent essay on Theory -making, I'd encourage all to also give his wise counsel serious heed. PLAY BALL!
