Now we're talking. Not sufficient I am game with. Nothing ever is, it is one more thing to do.

being tried with the usual degree of effectiveness, i.e. unevenly. Saying "lets try it" is redundant, because that is already going on, just not enough. To make it more, one would have to convince the people who are currently not doing it, or doing it badly, to do better, and they (by definition) are not listening.
Okay, than let's make some progress: 1. Where and who is currently involved with doing this? 2. What are they doing? 3. Can we use their experience to make it a larger success? 4. How do we begin doing something large-scale? Gadi.
