"In the 'old' days sharing was prevalent. Mike, Mr. Hall, John Brennan, Joe George, Richard Sloan and others shared whatever they found. I learned from Mr. Hall that the more one shares the more one learns.

I want to sincerely thank Barry for posting this quote from Art Loux. It is so typically Art and so true of the generation of researchers before us - and many fine ones in our field today - who were/are more interested in getting at the facts of history than in cut-throat competition.
