[CIMC-work] a half-week's worth of positions...

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Garth,

I'm glad we're able to talk this through. On the liaison-role thing, would
it be better for you if I were to put my "(concise subject line)" before
every global post I send along? You seem to have difficulties with long (and
not-very-descriptive) subject lines from global messages. I am always open
to changing my habits/processes, as long as it doesn't require additional,
time-consuming work.
