I emphatically second that. Craig's MPFIT package allowed me to easily and quickly
create/test/refine a model to better estimate infrared sea surface emissivities. That
model (implemented in Fortran90) is now in use in the global forecast system here at EMC.
If those little improvements in estimating emissivities lead to better utilisation of
satellite data which may in turn lead to a more accurate forecast that will, potentially,
save lives -- then as far as I'm concerned, Craig can use whatever notation he wants! :o)
