    I think you are reading the message optomistically. (Damn! I Wish I
    Could Spell!) I don't see that at all. I see that they looked
    at it once, and hope it has evolved to meet their needs, but that
    they are not is a position to say one way or the other.

    these burning matches!

    The Cabal seems to have a separate channel for communication.
    Truth be told, I think they're in the process of wrapping things
    up off line, and will present their conclusions to the rabble on
    their own schedule.

    Yes, well, we're not dead yet.

    Exclusion is a bad idea. Inclusion. Solutions for everyone!
