Charles, I like the idea, but I think it is worth waiting for the conference call to discuss. This is achievable, however it will take some time setting up and configuring, and in the same time we could have all the same functionality as the existing site on one unified system, allowing us to automatically manage all of the cross links between the systems. We might end up creating a monster that we need to manually manage. I will look into the possibilities prior to the meeting. Again, it is a great idea. I will add it to the agenda for the Conference Call.
