Hi Matt (and all).

Interesting article.

True.  

I plan to put up the 000-0-0-0-0 specs.  At first i was not going to, but now 
it seems good to do so.  Then, when about to ask for a copy of the Z1 data 
they used (editing from it), found out Janis was in the hospital.

Imperfect as it is, it's at least a step made.

Yes.  Z6 has tested.  Ready to go.

Provided we do not actually decimate any zone's needs, willing.  The problem 
has been zones do not operate alike.  Z2 and Z3 have aspects that can not be 
applied to Z1 without severe damage to current Z1 operations.  They consider 
allowing Z1 operational methods, to be equally damaging to them. (Round and 
round we go).
