- I would second that motion. IT would provide a forum where beta
- testers could compile their information as a valuable resource for
- IBM, developers and users alike. Right now the only real
- comprehensive listing that I have seen has been the FAQ posted by
- Timothy Sipples. Hats off to Mr. Sipples on an excellent job.

- Oh, one more thing. Make the group moderated. This way, hopefully
- the advocacy and the sniveling will stay in .advocacy where it
- belongs.
