Evan, 1. If you can, find a way to write interlinear comments that retain the attributions. 2. I described an exchange of notes on another ALAC list. 3. At no time, other than to refer to Patrick as the initial drafter of a document developed on that other ALAC list, did I suggest that the view I characterized as harmful to applicants came from that particular contributor to that draft. As small as the number of contributors are to that list, and it is quite small, that number is in excess of two (2). If you could refrain from confusing issues with your highly developed sense of email politess, that would at least not remove information from the mailing list as a means of communications. Anyone reading your contribution to this subject would conclude that Patrick and I disagree on something fundamental, which I think will surprise Patrick as much as it surprises me. Eric
