Les,
Any decision I have made regarding the TC is not related to you or that
debate. That debate served to cover some important points and resulted in
net progress. (If anything, I should be apologizing for being somewhat
snappy near the end.) I have found it both a pleasure and honor to work with
you.
~ Steve

Steve -
Let me apologize for our synonym debate ... I was saying that Ref's
should not be synonyms as they just declare a relationship of some sort
and one cannot determine if the two authorities are the same entity. I
was wrong, refs have been defined as synonymous for quite some time
meaning that they *cannot* be used to just establish relationships.
Sorry
Les
