Just to keep everyone up-to-date, a short note. A certain amount of discussion has gone on off-line amongst those of us who have the most froth dripping from our fangs, and we are working out the details of the CFV. Esentially, we are attempting to agree to disagree, and construct a vote which permits people to vote in an orthogonal vector space, as it were. Thus, if you believe there should be a group for palmtops, but handhelds should be left alone, or there should be an HP48-only group and handhelds should be otherwise uns=disturbed, or whatever else you might want, there will be an unambiguous way to vote. As this proposal will attempt to be all things to all people, and will rival War and Peace in its scope, it may take a few days before you see it, but you can use the time to prepare yourselves for the sheer ectasy :-) :-) Jeff E Mandel MD MS Thought for the day: "You want me to get my head examined? And just what do expect my asshole to do in the meantime?" Jeff E Mandel MD MS Asst. Professor of Anesthesiology Tulane University School of Medicine New Orleans, LA mandel@vax.anes.tulane.edu

You don't have the results from the straw poll. You don't have agreement from the people in on the private discussion, nor have you brought the discussion out into the public light where these things are supposed to happen. -- >>>==>PStJTT Patrick St. Joseph Teahan Taber, KC1TD Give a man a solution and you're employed for life.
