One thought ... if you are calling into the Montreal UBL meeting
(before our Thursday call ourselves), could you pull a quick one off
Tim McGrath, and find out if we should just work with the "reusable
components" spreadsheet, or should we still be better off with the
"normalized components". We'll wait till he can join us in a real time
conference to ask him on the intricate details, but this quick
recommendation will help us a lot. (03)
Thanks,
PPY
