Yes, I am sure most people would. However, I have noticed that normal posts
on topics of this nature are handily dispatched with singular consistancy,
usually with reference to historical discussion buried somewhere deep in the

They probably got tossed with a thousand other emails, really quite normal
in a large organization.
