I knew you were just poking at me for the modicum of “extreme grief” that the authors of reliable price guides through a trying to keep up with me... 
WRT:
"BTW, you ARE bringing that micrometer with you to the convention, aren't you? Actually, the spectrometer might not be a bad idea either."
Actually, the micrometer will be coming to Vegas with me 
, yet the spectrometer is still being re-certified/calibrated at the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder, CO. and won't be ready until after the convention... 
Regards,
Dick
