I have been giving thought to a Delphi Server for a E-Mail system and 
would be VERY INTERESTED in discussing same with others.  

For those not familiar with the Delphi method, it is a method of reaching
a quantitative evaluation of subjective opinions be the use or reiterative
rankings by a set of subject experts. (Or so I remember)

For a more complete discussion of the Dephi method, the RAND Corp did a 
write up on it quite a few years ago (I believe the method may have been
developed by the RAND Corp.).

PLEASE, if you have interest in this subject area, POST not E-mail your
comments.  The interactive discussion and value added by the group is
greatly delayed by the one-reply one-reader one-reply one-reader . . .
paradigm. (I knew I could get that word in some where!)
