Hi Susan et al,
I strongly favor option 3; while I appreciate the effort to make everything
incorporated in BABASE, we must restrict ourselves to the most common and
needed (in terms of current and anticipated question), and Bdates are just
not in that category.  I realize that is not totally satisfying, but this is
not something that will plague us or even hinder us in the next couple of
years, and we are increasingly bearing the cost of not having the conversion
of data and programs.  We have incorporated a couple of things that we
deemed really important, and I do feel we must stop with those, keeping a
list of something like occasional missing little swellings and brief B's.  I
hope I didn't somehow, sometime inadvertently get us headed in this 
direction and I don't think I did; it's not where we want to go.

Karl, your wonderful cast iron pot was used to cook a lovely chicken in the
solar oven today--again, thanks.
