I don't know if any enhancements are needed. I'm just trying to get the press
release process out in the open and the culprits responsible identified so _we_
can be embarrassed into getting the job done.

to get the ball rolling? I suppose I'll need access to the fabled database. 
Seems like times-a-wastin'.

Thanks,

David
