I sincerely apologize to you and the committee for this situation. When i volunteered ~ to undertake an analvsis, I neither intended to spend the amounts of time which were necessary to complete the feasibility study, nor did I expect to conclude that such an analysis would place me in a position of conflict. ~ ~ Hrul /i.l~i~.
