I wanted to let you all know with the gracious assistance of Bernhard Rupp the model has found a new home with Katherine Kantardjieff in the Center for Molecular Structure were it can be appreciated as it deserves.
I also wanted to extend a thank you to the whole community. I was amazed and touched by the response which ended up spanning three continents. In the few years I've been subscribed this bulletin board it has been reliably helpful and immensely educational. It has raised my awareness of potential issues and allowed me to make informed decisions as to the direction I proceed. I have watched an entire field evolve in a matter of weeks and months rather than trying to fumble with policy in a week at yearly conferences. And while there are always contentious issues and heated debates you never fail to lend your expertise and advice. You guys are one of the reasons I love this job. Again, thanks.
