<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>Thanks for the comments. I am working on
this, and will get it out to the list shortly for discussion on whether it is
an appropriate theme for proposal or not. If it is not appropriate to
deal with it in this context, I would appreciate suggestions as to where it can
be treated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>I would however point out that the fact that
it has not been dealt with yet does not mean it should not have
priority.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>If this is not the proper venue for
addressing it, that is another thing altogether.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>Thanks again to all of you,
Saludos,</FONT></DIV>
