This small band of engineers and makers thinkers and analysts are doing amazing and very important work. They are a true fellowship holding on to an ideal for LOS, independent and thorough testing and open discussion and analysis, doing something for all people. This is so important in these times. Good luck to all of you. And thanks for sharing your amazing work.
