I would really have loved to read Adam's document more thoroughly but I was completely time-starved back then.  I might try and make another effort on Friday.  I'm sure it's all fine.

I presume you don't have any suggestions then, Diva? :)

Waiting a couple of weeks for at least some of this to happen is the minimum, I feel.  Ideally, I'd like that to be longer but I know that you and other folk want to press ahead.
