	What do you feel about the ACBL's decision to allow 
self-review of AC performance rather than finding external 
measures?

	I'm led to believe the internal channels available for 
dissent are insufficient, which would be a pity.  I've 
always found your arguments lucid and I've admired you for that.

	While I know not all AC members are involved in every case, 
it looks like most of the commentators have already had 
their chances to have their opinions included in the 
casebook.  I personally enjoyed reading the commentaries as 
representing outsiders' view and look forward to the 
unofficial commentaries that might be compiled.
