Larry, Yes, I agree with you and in fact tried to be claer in my note about that. There are definitely situations in which helping people solve the problem of dangling references is VERY useful. I was only trying to suggest that both it is not universal and it is a very hard problem. I think it would be great to provide such a service and, as I've said to you before, I wholeheartedly think you should pursue it. In particular, if you can come up with general enough models and mechanisms for satisfactorily providing the wide variety of policies in each policy domain that a general community of customers would be happy with, you'd have a tremendous contribution to make, even if these weren't universal, but of broad interest. My apologies if I seemed to be coming down too hard on you. Karen
