Mike,
I apprecitate your response. So, I'm paying particular attention
to details; I don't want to get this wrong. Your statement
says "in several particulars", What does this mean?
I think you are meaning to say that "Notice is given when they are
intenting all changes", Is this correct?
Please, I'm just trying to get it straight what you are saying.
As for JKH or DG being out, I would imagine more than one
person is away for the holidays. Also, I see your name is
listed on the page listing "core" members, so I appreciate
this effor on your part. However, this rumor (as
I read it now) sounds fantastic, so I'd like to get
facts, or at least core's POV (Point Of View).
Lastly, you are suggesting that I am talking to the "wrong"
people on this. If I am, who are the "right" people?
