Prof. McDaniel to join the list?

A professor of things Buddhist and Lao, with overlapping specialization in
Pali and literary Laotian languages, and a growing interest in grammar as it
relates to incantation, would like to join the list.  He's apparently in a
tenure-track position at the U. of Chicago.

Here's his note:
  ------------------------------------
As for the internet discussion group, I would be honored to
join in. I am not an expert on Pali grammatica, but am
interested in how grammar and ritual work together and how
grammar is taught in Laos/Thailand. I used to be a student at
Mahachulalongkorn University in Bangkok and actually taught a
little Sanskrit there in my spare time. I also taught an
impromptu Pali class at Wat Ong Teu in Vientiane once a few
years ago. I used to sit in on classes there often. I don't
know if I will have anything enlightening to contribute to the
group, but I would like to listen in.

As a flower beautiful and brilliant of hue, but without fragrance, even so
