I have to agree with Paul Hill and LuJane Nisse.  I have greatly
appreciated your comments on Vision2020, Shahab.  Overall, they have been
very reasoned comments that I too often read, even when I am so busy that
I need to skip over many other people's comments.  You have been a great
contributor and I hope you'll continue to do so.
