[ppy]  Of course (you may choose to not join us at the call)! ... We
are expecting to do a synchronous voice session this Thursday (and not
a chat session ... and the facility to support the same has not been
planned), so don't worry about staying up for it!    (03)

[ppy]  I though I already sent you the link on my last message ...
were you able to view them?    (05)

Thank you for the other input ... I'll let Bob and Denise respond to
your design/requirement suggestions.    (06)


Best regards.  =ppy
