I've been debating whethere to speak up because I haven't been as active
recently as I once was.  However, Adam and cullen's statements (I
realize I'm only replying to Adam's message) are things I strongly agree
with.
I also would like to strongly second ekr's statement that the IAOC has
focused on the wrong question.
I support his argument for why the IAOC focus is wrong and his
formulation of what the focus should be.
