Thanks, Nora. Re-reading your first post to Ed, it's clearer to me that
you have had a much different experience than me, so I *was* being too
frickin' sensitive. As usual. Sorry.

And you're right; it's a good thing all our experiences are different.
I've had a few I wouldn't wish on anybody, one of which involved jello
wrestling with a punk rock band right after I was recovering from surgery.
Bad idea, trust me.

Anyway....

Offlist I asked Nora to elaborate on what R&D RFPs are like - I've only
done sales proposals for products and services. Back to you, Nora, and
thanks again!
