Hi Steve,

I was saying temporarily, because of possibility #2.  I think a significant
portion of our email will result in the reaction of "Hey, but I already
have a log number for this case:  80234.  Why do I now also have log ID
100023????"

I guess we can leave off the word temporarily. I think the explanation in
#2 is enough.

I did include a reply message at the bottom.  Perhaps we should replace the
words "be sure use" with "continue to use" in the text I sent.

Cheers,
-Debi
