Please ignore my message (was: Re: ACTION: task force unasserted triples)

All - this was a message I wrote and decided not to send because it 
was made obsolete by the telecon -- unfortunately, I accidently 
queued it when fixing a time problem on my email.  Please feel free 
to NOT respond to it.
  thanks
