0906 - Summary/Objective
0907 -
090701 - Followed up work at ref SDS 5 0000, ref SDS 3 0000.
090702 -
090703 - Submitted ref DIT 1 to Max transmitting the record at ref SDS 5,
090704 - responding to Max's letter, ref DRP 1.
090705 -
090706 - This letter focuses on the problem of limited span of attention in
090707 - understanding Communication Metrics, since Max has received the
090708 - explanation, but has not had time to read the details of recent
090709 - communication, and therefore he has not been able to engage the ideas.
090710 -
090711 -     [See response from Max on 971101, ref SDS 6]
090712 -
090713 - Like the paper on Turning Straw into Gold, Max has let the record of
090714 - our discussions flow by like water under the bridge, ref OF 1 line 41.
090715 -
090716 - Max is way downstream on discussing Communication Metrics, and
090717 - suddenly finds the information that went by previously is material to
090718 - current understanding.  He does not have a way to align new
090719 - information with what he has already encountered.
090720 -
090721 - I ask if he received the USACE report dated 971007, ref DRP 2 0000,
090722 - submitted by my 971020 letter, ref DIP 1 0000 at ref SDS 2 0000. Also
090723 - ask if USACE's report addresses his questions. ref SDS 1 8477
090724 -
090725 -      [See response on 971101, Max received the report but has not yet
090726 -      read it, ref SDS 6 0155]
