Fwd: Re: AGA

[krandall@world.std.com]

I am forwarding one of several messages that Erik and I have been
responding to lately.  We've been doing our best to answer questions, but
even I have to admit that people have a valid point, and I'm not sure what
the answer is.  I feel like my whole day today has been reponding on James'
contest and fighting AGA fires.  I have "real" work that hasn't gotten done
while dealing with this stuff.  I just htought the rest of you should know
what's going on.
