[Hps] Volunteer to read the ECal HPS article

[mdiamond at physics.utoronto.ca]

Hi,

If it would be helpful for someone completely new to the collaboration  
-- a fresh set of eyes -- to read and edit the paper, I am willing to  
volunteer.  Since I'm Canadian, I spell in British (rather than  
American) English, but I am a native speaker.
