Mike,

Thanks.

I'm sure others have additional thoughts on this.

I can offer that we decided to focus on a "Do Do" this round because:

1) it gave contributors a short list of "if you do anything do this", which
we thought was more important than Don't Dos, and
2) it was what we could accomplish in that time.


Regards,
Kim

Bob et al,

Thanks for this. It is a small but positive step.

I am curious if there is an intent to update the "Don't Do" list...I
thought
that looked as helpful as the "Do Do".
