To take this to the next step, Meem can *ask* the C-team to block the RTI, but they do not have to act on his request. So, too, you can do the same. At this point you don't really have access to the C-team, but until the C-team is opened up, if you have a legitimate point I am sure someone at Sun would relay that point to the C-team if you requested it. -- blu If global warming is about climate change, isn't trying to prevent it actually anti-climatic? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Utterback - Solaris RPE, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
