^^^^^^^^^^
ouch, that hurt. i'm still not used to being called management :)
my reason for asking that the discovery team be kept in the loop was that
i was under the impression that the project was still in discovery. that
may very well not be the case. i was going by circumstantial evidence not
having heard otherwise, the report having a big DRAFT on it, and there not
being a delivery project on the list.
in general, i believe that keeping a couple of folks from consulting and
pubs on a project list in addition to developers does not bleed away
developer momentumm and is a good thing, especially on a project that is
heavily user interaction focused.

if your belief holds true, i totally agree.
