In case anyone is reading this, I ran into some issues (personal, work, life, hardware, etc.) shortly after my last blog post, so had to (yet again) ignore all things astrojargony (both EOS and astronomy stuff) for a while. 

The good news is that I think I've gotten things to the point that I can start spending a little time on this stuff, but I'm a bit backed up. 

If you've sent me an e-mail in the past 6 months or so, I apologize for the delayed response, beg your pardon, and thank you for your patience.  I'm going to start wading through them and responding over the next week or two.
