quick note on blog scope

By we - Jul 8th, 2008 at 6:44 pm EDT

I'm using this blog and making entries because I assume the contents of blogs at this site will be indexed and text-mined. So this is just to add to the constellation of concepts and terms that the next exec. branch team may possibly be working from and responding to. Just in case.
