Fellow technicians:
I did not intend for my reply to go out to everyone.  Please do not 
take offence concerning my remark about the usefulness of the CAUT 
Guidelines.  I have tremendous respect for this effort and the people 
who are doing all the work.  I feel strongly that once the data is 
gathered, it will become a very useful tool.  It's just not quite 
there, yet.
