[IMC-US] Re: Ideas for features

[Tribal Scribal]

Sounds ok to me, much like we did at Global. I guess my take came from 
earlier conversations about editorial proceedure that have since evolved. I 
certainly don't want to be rewritting other peoples work w/o consulting 
w/them. :O

The Day Aftrer approach sounds good as well. One thing though, from this 
end, i'll be away from the monitor on 11/3 from Noon 'til dusk (EST) at our 
own local event and tomorrow from 3pm on. Soooo, that leaves me tonight and 
early in the morn to start a draft for others to do with what they will.

d.o.
