Thanks Jeff for advertising this.  I have received several comments from
members.  I won't comment since i'm the one collecting the input.  I will
say that the fuse is short on this as we want to get something to the Board
before they have the January meeting.

I can share my feelings as well as the results that I have.  After the
deadline, if you would like.

73, Coy
