Matt, I'll have to remember to favourably adjust any score I give one of your future 
grant applications to offset the trashing you'll undoubtably receive from our Glu-R 
colleagues reading this thread.  I personally think that glutamate receptors are 
critically important in almost all aspects of neurobiology (assorted 
sounds of snivelling, grovelling and general supplication).  Can you guess I have a 
grant application currently under review?
