Thanks, Bill. It also appears to be easy to come up with what ya think
is the way it is going to be done with absolutely no facts to back it
up, then be sure that the process will suck, is unfair, and
unrealiistic.
Steve spoke on this issue at my last chapter meeting in NY, I was on
the STC task force for awhile, and I'm still willing to wait until
there are actualy some facts available before passing judgement.
