Daniel,

I know that Rainer Arlt is keen on analyzing your plots. That is why I
suggested you send him a copy of your data instead of sending it to the IMO
president. I send him my plots every year, both on hard copy and on the
VisDat program. He uses our data to help determine the meteor activity as
seen on a worldwide basis rather than a single person or group. I feel it is
well worth the effort!

Clear Skies!
