Good work. I'm going to be posting a lengthy response to Jason this afternoon, and obviously there is some overlap with your response. I'm going to create a separate string so we can point people to it in the future.

I had not seen that Steve Wood interview before, and there is some very good stuff in there--effect of tides, the chute getting different maintenance, that it's hard to keep moisture content constant throughout the day, and the effect of shade on moisture at different parts of the track.

Thanks for pointing it out.
