Thanks William, Sandy, Joop, and Leah, and all for explaining. But more than
that I think we all need to become more aware there are people reading this
and we want them to participate. By taking a bit more time and not assuming
everyone knows what any one of us does, we may actually increase
participation in these discussions. That should be one common goal we all
have no matter if we disagree on other points.
