Thanks for mentioning this, Detlef! By the way, what other topics of particular 
interest were covered in the IMC last week - anyone care to report? :)

Really?? I'm amazed at this, Detlef - aren't most of the storm component 
particles under a gram? What mechanism would produce such BRIGHT flashes?

Clear skies to all!
