Yeah, the early days of BHQ (he says that with a dreamy look in his eyes,
remebering the past).  Well, not quite so early as far as the mailing list
goes, but before the "Guide".  My favorite part of Mark's introduction was
actually the private discussion that I had with him after that note was
posted.  He was talking about improving his skills and I made the comment
that anyone can do cool things with balloons; that you don't have to be a
rocket scientist to understand how to work with them.  Clearly he misread
that comment since he's now working for NASA.
