Thanks for the mention in new voices! Honored to be included
Thanks for the mention Erica and TIF team. I was not aware of the existence of TIF until just now other than as a (semi)popular image file format for storing raster graphics. Seems like a cool little pub, and I am not just saying that because you mentioned me...though of course that did not hurt...LOL!
