  I am not sure that I agree in total.  But as I am probaly
in a minority possition here.  I suppose the point is Moot.
It jsut seems to me that additional ports are just not 
necessary and a bad idea long term.  I understand the 
time element for some projects.  I just feel that it is a bad
trade off.  Sets a bad precident.
