Hi Spidey,
 I signed up to the group list without having to claim that I was a
clinician or student or whathaveyou.  I am looking forward to seeing how
rapidly the idea catches hold.  It could tend to rock the institutions a bit
as they now stand.  After all, the news channels spend a lot of time on the
Internet chasing Blogs.  Just looking at the gaggle of experts on the list
tells me that there will be lots of fast breaking news on this reader quite
quickly.   It will be a way for new pharmaceutical to become popular on the
market before they are even developed.
