A very belated greetings, Steven. I'm not sure how this discussion will evolve, but I'm glad to see that SLS is open to joining in the discussion. There may be little to talk about at times, while other times things are coming from all sides. :-) Just wait until someone's sore spot gets rubbed the wrong way! ;-)
So, thanks for joining in and being willing to listen. It will be good to have another viewpoint, and someone to state SLS' position (or give your group community feedback) when discussion goes that way.
