We all see your point and many of us, well likely all of us agree.  
what is needed now is solid ideas.  Do you have any.

I'm forwarding this conversation since I actually meant for it to go to

Cindy:

I agree with you completely. But you should know that your messages are 
going only to me and not to NFBKABS because I sent the original to you 
privately even though it was in response to a list message. So you might

want to send a similar message to the list.

Thanks.

Mike
