<p class=MsoNormal>Could we just identify a topic or two each and canvass among

earlier question about what we would survey Adrian.<br>
The following answers my question. Any volunteers to take a first crack<br>
at a survey that we can discuss on the list?<br>

><br>
><br>

><br>

> attention<br>
><br>

><br>

><br>
><br>

we were<br>
