Thanks John, We seem to be doing whatever we can to work productively and effectively without taking ourselves (too) seriously. Also, my sense is that we are gaining recognition for this such that we can expect to be heard when we make an important point.

I was glad to have such role models! As for a single take-away from the more than 24 hours we spent together, I have to credit Volker Greimann for putting it into words: "I'd rather be presumptuous than mute." Not a bad motto, eh? Cheers, Berard
