I'd like to suggest that anyone who would like to discuss this topic post
their messages to comp.distributed.  I initially cross-posted because I did
not know in advance where most (if any) interest would come from.  However,
now that it seems that there is a level of interest, it makes sense for a
single newsgroup be chosen as a focal point (since the standard problems
with cross-posting have begun to rear their ugly heads).

So in summary, please choose comp.distributed as the newsgroup you use if
you wish to add anything to this thread.


Thanks,

Mike N. Christoff
