meant to add that they might need more time to actually figure that out. and that's why i suggesteed: >>> if i were a tu, i'd move to table this proposal and form a working group >>> to study the social and technical problems of generating good usage >>> statistics. it would put off a resolution to the resource consumption >>> problems, but i feel that, sometimes, "now" is not better than "better." but on that note, i'm going to withdraw here, having said way more than my piece given that i'm *not* developing anything. -kludge
