Dear All,

Frankly, this is a blessing in disguise. As you may remember, I was very 
upset earlier when the invitation went out to Zorita even though as far 
as I had understood, we had agreed not to invite and his name was not on 
the list we had agreed too. I believe that the field is more than 
adequately covered by those attending, and I would definitely not 
support any effort to recruit a proxy for Von Storch or Zorita at this 
point, or even to ask Zorita to change his mind.
