Ahhhh... Sorry if I was gruff. I thought you were objecting. :-)

My main irritation at the moment is I'd like us to do something relatively=

soon. We've spent quite a while waiting for things to be designed, and=20
they still aren't. If we keep waiting, we will never take any evoltionary=

steps. ;-)
