Apart from being hosted on our company web site, I'm struggling to see how this is a commercial blog post. As a 20 year veteran of GIS, given today's changes if there has ever been a time we all need to share: this is it. Its certainly not my intention to upset anybody. And I apologies if that has been the case here. I would ask though, if a mailing list like NEARC is not a good place for these types of conversations where is? -Matt On 9 March 2016 at 12:16, Brian Cooperman <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Completely agree with Roy.
