Thanks guys. Yahoo, finally got some responses after so long. I almost gave up on this thread. Saajha, I just emailed you. Please check your mailbox and reply at your earliest convenience, hai? Brat, I am sure you are not a brat, could not agree with you more. These standards and procedures do tend to slow the process somewhat, at least initially. But as you said, for those mission critical projects, those are very necessary. Now with SOX regulations here in the US, they are must-haves. I would certainly like to hear more about your projects, if you care to write more. Cheers, friends, and thanks again for responding.
