        Hi, Eric,

        I noticed it and sent an extra warning email to the
Debrecen people.  Unless someone else strongly protests, I'll
encourage (and help) them to write at least one poster abstract
(tester + neutron tests), or two separate ones on the topics.

        It is particularly tempting because finally there's
a QM which is close to Hungary...

        If there is some objection, please raise it!

        Thanks,

        Gabor
