Ultimately that is what we will do.  I would like to find out exactly what 
he means, because he often doesn't mean what we think he is saying in 
e-mail.  But, especially after last convention, there's NO way we're going 
to approve anything or anyone without a thorough review.  It's not up 
to the AGA to pre-appoint anyone or give anyone any kind of guarantees. 
We can make suggestions, we can talk about what is likely to work, but 
that's all.
