Sounds like a good project. We should list on on the NYLXS site as a member spounsored
project.
I few nights ago Mr Sulzburger was raving at me that NYLXS was collapsing because of
me, and gave as an example that we hadn't written a stick of code.
Don't ask me how this became a criteria of our effectiveness, but as he was
screaming this at me on the phone, I wa thinking, well, we do have David
Sugar as a member. I do believe he's written a few lines of code here and
there.
