My e-mail is back, so any and all missives you’d intended to send winging my way will now reach me (assuming my killer attack spam filter doesn’t wrestle it to the ground first).

I daresay we’re getting the hang of this. I’ll post a note when our new site goes live with info on Screening Process, which will probably be next week.
