I need more time to think about this. I think Keith raised good issues.
I think we are missing something but I am not sure right now how to put
it. But I agree we need to do soemthing.
Are we in that mode now?
I think the bar for PS is to HIGH as one input that keeps going thru my
mind, but that might be fixed with what Keith suggested. I need most of
this week before I can respond with real thought and contemplation. I
assume that is ok with the chairs. Lets not rush this one, but get it
done in timely manner too.
