Thanks for the encouraging comments. When I get a chance I'll reply to Bill's last. This weekend has been awash with other tasks, and the week coming up looks busy too.
Yes, I've arranged travel at last. I need to send Rick the money.

Hi Bruce!
Just wanted you to know that I've been following along on these threads and appreciate what you've been trying to do, and with such finesse. I agree with your assessment of the problems; of course, the really difficult part is discovering workable solutions . . .
HPCT, so far as it goes, provides a nice starting point -- as complete as Bill could make it with the information available to him way back when -- but if you take Bill at his word it was always intended as a starting point for research and not as the final product to be defended to the death. [It doesn't always seem like this in debate, does it?] Glad to see someone identifying some of the problems and thinking about possible ways to deal with them. This is the sort of thing I like to see on CSGnet.
Will you be attending the conference this year? [I'm signed up.]
Bruce A.
