Unfortunately there seem to be three diverse groups of people here.
The first group seem to have been to one of George Rose's seminars.
The second group have heard some rumours and have not been to one of
George Rose's seminars - but would like to.
The third group (which certainly includes me) have heard absolutely
nothing about this supposed breakthrough - until now. Perhaps I'm the
only one in the third group? Hands up all those who have heard about
this work by George Rose... oh dear, how embarassing - just me, then!

Just to make some use of the wasted bandwidth here - why doesn't
someone in the first group let us in the third group in on what's
supposed to be going on. If he's spoken about this at a seminar then
a brief synopsis isn't going to hurt anyone - then we can _all_
enjoy the suspense until the paper comes out!
