251232 -      ..
251233 -     Upon discussion, he agreed with Pat Lincoln's comments this

251255 - Montreal on Knowledge Management.  The only product anyone cited as
251256 - producing KM work product is Lotus Notes, and nobody demonstrated any
251257 - LN work product that accomplishes Knowledge Management, nor explained
251258 - how LN supports KM, which aligns with the KM conference on 991217.
251259 - ref SDS 9 9030  Jack feels this reflects marketing exagerations.
