It was nice to see you pop up as a fellow "list lurker". Are you working
on any publications in the error management arena? Your regulatory process
text provides an excellent foundation in administrative law for
undergraduates, and I'd be interested in hearing what you've been up to by
way of management training/education. Please feel free to contact me at
brown_at_vine.mv.com.
Thanks,
Jeff
