RE: multiparty

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@mmiec.com>]

I am taking my reply to this over to BP where (I think) it belongs.  As I 
am dual subscribed, like many other folks, so far I'm getting 3 copies of 
each of about 20 takes in this thread.  (Don't you people 
sleep?)  Personally I find the topic fascinating, but in case others don't, 
let's put it in one place for now.

Great (virtual) meeting Dale.  Thanks again.    Jamie
