(Stuart here, I think this is a fascinating discussion – one of the best we’ve had on This Week in Lotus. If you know someone in the Lotus product teams at IBM that should hear the points made in this episode, please please pass them the details. If you are a customer that wants issues such as these resolved, again please tell your IBM contacts. Thank you!)
