We can and must be sensitive to all the important political sensitivities in the community, yes definitely. <br><br>Still, at a minimum, let's provide a list of providers (with the randomly varying order) right now, before any more time is lost.<br><br>It's important to remember the old saying, "You can only make a first impression once." So, if we're serious in our commitment to ALL end-users when we talk about user-centric, then we simply have to do something along these lines.<br>cheers,<br>-bill<br><br><br><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new
