I know.  Not a productive comment.  But I've just written a bazillion page diatribe on pretty much the same thing, and you know, that did not feel productive either.  

I mean, is there anything anyone of us in this room can do to ensure the steps taken as this - whatever the hell it is - moves forward are sane and constructive?
