Wow.  Now you are down to criticizing someone for taking, gosh, one whole
day to respond.

In case you hadn't noticed, Jay, you are using nothing but tired old
(mis)claims, to, so what's your complaint about Bob's note?

It has worked with a very tiny number in small, private meetings, over a
rather short period of time.  It has worked with nothing in writing and a
constantly shifting set of claims and promises.

It has been through nothing that looks like a consensus process -- and one
continues to be amused by your claims of knowledge with respect to
consensus processes -- so there is no basis for claiming that it has
achieved it.  For that matter, there is nothing to base the consensus on,
especially since the contents of its presentations has changed from one
meeting to the next.

In other words it has punted on a basic issue...

And note how easy it is to assert such a requirement but how difficult it
is to work out the details.  Such details are lacking from Magaziner's
work, unless he has covered that ground in the last 7 days, and he hasn't.

And herein lies the major offense.  That the USG would sanction commercial
monopolies, in the absence of any technical requirement for them, should
cause considerable concern among the consumer community.

Like you are going to claim otherwise, Jay?  Please don't dive into that
realm of attempted humor.
