Thanks to all of you who participated in the first week. As many of us,
including myself, will be attending the SCMS conference next week in Toronto,
responses may arrive a little late. But please feel free to jump in anytime and
respond to the discussions we started in week 1.
Meanwhile, we have three more guests to join us in week 2:
