But, that does not solve the management problem for the comittee of the comments before it. Just as a trial balloon, would a password protected version of buzilla (I assume that is possible) be of interest to anyone? My thinking being that the login page per se is visible (we would need to see it to login), a login would be required to go further. One advantage of that approach would be that I could post ISO standards that I have obtained and probably will be obtaining for use in our discussons. The distribution of those standards is limited to members of V1. Hope you are having a great day!
