Oops.  I usually make myself owner of tickets that I am working on, mostly 
because that's how we did it where I used to work.

Another trick is to review someone else's ticket and then ask them to review 
yours.  e.g. kcrisman has reviewed so many of my tickets that I would be 
obliged to review anything he asked me to (assuming I were competent to do so 
of course).  Unfortunately, I can't help with probability distributions, or I 
would ask you to review some of mine :-)

P.S. kcrisman, I've been planning to work on 8473, but can't seem to find the 
time.  Thanks for your patience.
