Thanks.  I will monitor both. The newsgroups work well for threaded
conversations.  Whereas, I would suggest comments at the blog attempt to
reflect some degree of congruence (agreement) with the original post since
that informaton can be more persistent and accessible than any newsgroup
banter.   But I am definitely interested in feedback, as this is "our"
community letter and as such the development of it should be done openly.

yes - hopefully the survey information being gathered will help us collect
that information.

The desire was to show page full of clients just simply listed.  I encourage
separate attachments to expand on the criticality for those clients.  Also,
we need to begin to generate a list of stakeholders (developers, clients,
etc...) idicating signature of this letter.

yes.  Thanks. Bob!!!
