Hi everyone! ;-)

Well you are exactly right. I'm on the HOT team and we were one of the
teams that were profiled. They are indeed doing a documentary.
I'm not sure when that will be out but I'll talk to some of the people
who were involved and see what I can find out if you like. Our camera
man, Bruce, will most likely know a few things. If so just send me an
e-mail at mbrown@hotteam.org.
