Even at the time that Rob and David founded and ran RTCP, I was impressed by the high quality of their work, not "simply" because it was produced by 2 college guys in their spare time (no mean feat), but, even more significantly, because it was influential in the community. And when I say that Rob and David's work was influential, I don't mean primarily in the sense that they had narrow agendas which they successfully pushed. I mean mainly in the sense that they managed to bring many diverse interests and parties together in these pages in favor of cooperative visions. MIT and UNC are lucky to get them! It is the College Park and University Park community's loss.
