Re:SVS Phobia? 4 Years, 5 Months ago  
I'm pleased with the number of responses to my original thread. Seems to confirm the need to create a "repository" for SVS information. I see Musky has started another thread entitled "SVS Paper" asking for information related to SVS. Hopefully the combined effort of everyone here will result in the most comprehensive information available on this subject.

I appreciate the nomination and second to author a paper on SVS. However, I must decline based on my relative lack of experience with the mechanical aspects of the R*. There are many people associated with this forum that have the skills and knowledge to author such a paper with the authority it needs.

Cheers!
