David,
This is the last week before the
official due date for Junior Independent work (May 8th),
which is a lot of work and very important. I don't
think I even checked my e-mail that whole week when I
was facing that deadline 2 years ago, so I would be
most impressed if communication with the outside world
didn't lag for a while. The work is just much more
important than pretty much anything right now.
