At no point does Jordan say "do >nothing" - he's saying that there aren't the people to do it. Really, Brett, you and Jordan are starting to sound like the joke about two old men sitting in a restaurant: Jordan: The food here tastes like crap. [1] Brett: Yeah, and they give you such small portions, too! [2] Guys, if you keep dismissing my proposals for contributions, AND ignoring my observations about serious problems that need to be solved, I'll quit attempting to make proposals, contributions, OR observations. --Brett Glass [1] A paraphrase of Jordan's message of 3/22/99, in which he opines, "I say it's bovine waste material..." [2] A paraphrase of Brett's MANY messages in which he states that since he considers my contributions to date to be small, he reserves the right to dismiss my proposals for bigger ones.
