22 I thank you for your effort and wish you to continue. I just want to say that
23 there may or may not be people who are actually unclear. However, what we are
24 all aiming at is quality and, to have quality, absolutely nothing can be
25 assumed. If you can define this one uncertainty (sp?) and then address the
26 issue accordinly, we'll just about be done here.
