Forgive the comment, but my message was an inquiry to a subject that had 
been discussed before, the effort to plant an antenna on the UWMC BB Tower. 
My question, since the monthly meeting have been abandoned, was to extract 
any information on the effort since I am in a position to spur action. The 
effort to work with the university on such a project, given their 
commitment to having a complete wireless campus within three years, would 
still be substantial. Therefore going off half-cock without benefit of 
previous effort and knowledge, or potentially duplicating previous effort, 
would be ill-advised.

However if you believe that such exchange of information is not desired, 
please confirm my understanding. With your encouragement, my thinking is 
that the spirit of volunteerism within this group will be as strong on day 
18,250 as it has grown today.
