Grant's email is not valid either. I would just drop it unless he wants
his secretlab.ca email.
Rob
Meant to add Grant.

No response from Grant, so I'll drop his email and add the mail list.
Also, for the newly added section I'll change the contact from being both
me and the mail list to just be the mail list.

I'm slowly getting back into things and plan to actively participate.
