Hi Dan,

That's how I see it too...

I'm not sure, but it might have to do with that otherwise the minimum number of members wouldn't be reached.

I don't think that was explained.

 DC> Now that he *is* on the FTSC, what groundbreaking achievements has he

What has any FTSC member done in the last couple of years?

 DC> Hey Ward.  Hey Tim.  Feel free to jump in here and provide some

Ward claims he generally doesn't read this area.


Bye, Wilfred.
