1 I still think that we should stay with c6 status. c3 may or may not give us more benifits, but 1, we don't know that it will for sure, and 2, as I've said before there's a lot more potential to end up with problems if we're not careful. I would rather stay with what the origional agreement was, and that's c6.

3 I'm not oposed to a second opinion either, but this is just what I think.
