Bob,  I _really_ think that some of your E-mail is still going astray, and
that may be the root of some misunderstandings and miscommunications.  I am
sure that Neil said essentially the same thing that I said above about a
month ago when you asked a question about SC/MC structure.

BTW, I want to state again that I am not entirely convinced that this is
the way we _should_ be doing things, just that it is the way things were
originally set up.  At the time Neil and I worked this up, there were only
4 people on the SC, adn the MC was an imaginary body.  We didn't know who
would be on it, or how they would interact.  It may very well be time to
take a good hard look at how we are operating, and see if something else
might not work better.  Please don't think that just because I'm telling
you how things were set up means that I feel strongly that they have to
stay that way.
