MP: I agree. I just don't believe we have crossed the river; some people are out of the boat, others still in it. IMO we still need the boat. Get rid of the boat, you lose a lot of people in the river and when those that don't drown get on shore, they'll be pretty pissed at those that tossed the boat with them in it. ;-) Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
