Mark, I couldn't agree more that it would have made sense for ARPA to fund
a GNAT-like effort earlier. I flew down to Washington a couple of times
a few years ago (i.e. several years before the GNAT work finally started)
to try to sell this idea, but it didn't fly. We have Chris Anderson to
thank for finally seeing that this was an important target of opportunity.
