Dear, Most Knowledgable, Netters:
	Have any of you built a Theremin or capacitive proximity sensor?
I want to make a proximity sensor with a range of about 3 or 4 feet.  Any
hints, tips?  Circuits, even?  Any suggestions as to the most appropriate
frequency?  I suspect that it would be the resonant frequency of the human
body - does anyone know what that might be?

Kilothanks, Doug.
