To get to the point, I have had to make a very hard decision to step aside from WG Chair responsibilities for awhile. It has nothing to do with the RySG issues that I raised before. I just need to take the time to focus on doing everything I can to take care of the problems of the last few months. It has been suggested for awhile and, as I told Marika, I guess that some folks really are trainable. Those of you who know my wife can imaginge her with a "who, you?" look, but she is in Phoenix on business and can't see me writing the message. Working with this WG has been an outstanding experience. I've learned a lot in many ways. It's too far along and we've made too much progress to step away completely, so I'll be lurking and contributing on calls and the mailing list as I can. Best, Don ----- Don M. Blumenthal, Esq.
