[Brahms-l] Fw: SPY news : last words as the Scheduling Physicist ... pre-rumor ... a record ?

FYI
comment:
I am quite unhappy that CA-D is now engaging in yet another round of
possible
postponing of the run. I intend to post a statemnt to T.Kirk and the other
exp that this is quite unacceptable after a meeting just two weeks ago where
it was argued that one month would be reasonable, and no longer would
jeorpadize a full 31 week run.

regards
