Re: Remanufacturing FAQ

My final thoughts for today (at least until I get home at least <grin>) is that I
agree with Mark that we have a lot of energy here, but no focus. Looks like
everyone has an individual view of what should be done. I don't have any ideas on
how to fix that problem... How do you get a crowd of users to decide and focus on
a specific project, not to mention assign tasks?

I always look to Steve to provide these "voice from the cave" answers, knowing how
little he has to do and how bored he has been lately <grins to Steve>.

More of my random thoughts,
