070903 -    On 050119 Gary submitted a copy of a letter to Henry van Eyken
070904 -    saying that business metrics have a bad reputation, and causes
070905 -    negative attitudes about Communication Metrics before anyone even
070906 -    considers the scope and potential application.
070908 -     ..
070909 -    Gary made this point previously, but there was nothing in the
070910 -    Subject Index that enabled making a connection.  Tried Windows XP

070920 -        Windows, and there is a generic file find utility he uses on
070921 -        his Windows XP computers. ref SDS 1 HT5I
