just for the record, and incase you were unaware - NAU's website lists 3133, 
1839 as being paired. The may have not presented the data to the NomCom, but 
they DID publically represent such a pairing. I'd be carefull how you word 
your writting Adam, because one could interpret what you wrote as a claim 
that NAU is not a reputable institution. I'm sure Dr. Bunch and Wittke would 
not take kindly to that.
