Anders!  This is the sexiest commentary I have seen in years!

Thanks man, priceless.  A masterpiece.

Sure, but actually I had in mind the opposite: getting the straights kinked
out.

And of course making money, but you already knew that.  {8-]

Again I find myself hopelessly, terminally not hip.  I need to avoid all
memes sexual, for far too much of humanity has derived delightfully erotic
answers long before I ever realized there was a question.

I have always thought Kalman filtering as sexy, but this takes it to a whole
nuther level.

Ah yes, eigensmooches, to find the most optimal of all smooches.

Just thinking of the money making possibilities of this notion makes my butt
hurt.  It's a good hurt.

Anders, you are a gift pal.
