I canceled the second article. Bob has posted his proposal. I admit to pre-judging his plan. My criticisms are currently inappropriate. His personality, methods, and the fact that he find the alternate backbone mechanism "incomprehensible" - yet he proposes forming a replacement backbone using his quota distribution scheme caused me to form a personal opinion of Bob Webber, which has not changed. -- Bruce G.
