Impromptu Changing Catalog (Do we want BI queries here !)

[Mark Stewart]

Well I'd hate to say it but I'd have to agree with Kent.  If this becomes a forum for BI then every 50th posting or so would be related to PowerHouse and the rest BI.  I think BI subject matter would be better suited in another forum.  I've been subscribing to this list for several years and have found it to be interesting reading for the most part.  Not that BI isn't interesting but I think it would just make for a more noisy discussion.  Too many topics.  The focus of this list is PowerHouse and I hope it stays that way.  Thanks.  Just joking Kent.
