Reader mail bag

[Brian Goetz]

As you may know, there is a separate -comments list which is intended to 
be used as a "suggestion box" (i.e., its not for discussion, and hence 
not subscribable or replyable.)  This is the public's primary means for 
providing input to the EG.  Most have already been discussed here.  The 
following comments should be considered "read into the record".  If 
folks want to discuss these, please start a separate thread.
