I have been independently told their resources are limited.  But it 
is fairly clear from first principles.  Becky Burr only has 24 hours 
in her day, just like all of us.  She has a job that apparently 
keeps her fairly busy.  If nothing else, her time to spend in 
telecons to every Tom, Dick, and Jane who wants to know whats going 
on is limited.  Obviously, telecons with some NTIA clerk who hasn't 
been directly involved in the decisions are not what people are 
interested in.

So she says.  But you just can't tell with a private list, can you?
