All I can say is that I stated that I'd wait for someone to say "Yeah,
sure, go ahead" or "No that's okay" and I didn't receive any direction
one way or another.    To me, that SEEMS like no one wanted to take me
up on it.   There may be other, more accurate ways to interpret events.

Anyway, as I had mentioned in another communication, you are correct
that it doesn't matter who does it.  In another e-mail I've attached
some scripts that may (or may not) work well enough.    If they work for
anybody, great.  [Kudos to Tom Russo's site for the necessary
documentation]

Is that an accurate representation of the events?

Derrick has processed the complete set it in the past and offered to do
it again a while back.  When you (and perhaps another) offered, I
suggested coordinating with Derrick so that nobody's stepping on
toes/duplicating efforts.

The important thing is to get it done, it doesn't matter much who does
it.

Derrick:  What's the status?
