My overall thoughts on this subject is that it is interesting to see Bill participating in a discussion that more or less amounts to knocking down the cathedral we've erected here and replacing it with a bazaar. Personally I'm not willing to walk with you guys down that route just yet, but the thinking behind the "experiment" I've been talking about was to just tweakthe cathedral with a hybrid "outdoor market" model.
Interesting discussion to watch tho, especially if it starts to bear fruit. >________________________________ > From: "Mattmann, Chris A (388J)" <chris.a.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov> >To: William A.
