Re: Indepent view of the draft

Christopher and all,

  I agree with Chris's statment here.  I think that if there are reasons
to limit the nucmer, than those reasons must be discussed, established,
agreed upon and posted.  If this cannot be done than there is no VALID
reason for limiting.  It would be reguarded by any logical person as 
political in nature and therefore subject to dissagrement and leading to
limiting accomplishment.  This I just could not agree with.  So, I have
to go along with Chris here.

  I find this argument sound, all be it a bit harsh.
