Would someone be willing to summarize where we're at at this point with this
discussion? It has been long and large enough that I'm no longer clear on
exactly what it is that we do and don't want, and why. Just a summary of our
major alternatives at this point, and the most significant points for and
against each would be great.

Thanks,
