Chris did not make this site - I've worked with Chris many times over the last 20+ years and put this up in an effort to connect him with the outside world. Chris Nagle is a brilliant engineer and producer but also an accomplished recluse. The email link here does go direct to Nagle's inbox, but whether he checks it or replies is beyond my control.
If you get no response email me and I'll go round and tap on his window.
