Yes, it could well be the case; so I am would welcome ways to clarify things
so that the it fits better.  

I like to think of architecture in terms of how houses are specified,
designed and built... the architect does not decide how many mm thick the
concrete foundation shall be (the civil engineer does that), but the
architect does decide that a foundation will be required due to the height of
the house, and that the foundation shall contain a basement that can be used
as a TV room; vs if it will just be a crawl space.

Sorry, did I not get to the minutes for the call on Tuesday?
Oh. Damn. You are probably right... I will do that.

I plead insanity due to nomcom-chair.
