The list has been quiet for awhile, so here is a discussion topic to, hopefully, stir up the pot. I have been working on a large project to replace a number of...
Kiril, Thanks for opening up some important issues with your questions. ... Keeping the essential narrative to the main flow or "success case" is so widely...

We're here, just kinda quiet recently. For some of us, it's been crunch time; others just quietly working. I think of this list as I do my longtime friends;...
