OK Read the beginning of Bryans post again, slowly...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This post is the first of a series that signifies the PIPS COMEBACK. It does not meet all of your or my needs in terms of getting PIPS up and running again, but it is the first phase.

1......First series that signifies the PIPS COMEBACK.
(He is working with what he has, come on guys, he can't work with want he doesn't have yet)

2...... It does not meet all of your or my needs...
(Bryan knows we are desperate for the restructured PIPS program to come back)

3...... but it is the first phase.
(Even if you don't want to be part of this first program it gives you some kind of indication that Bryan is going nowhere until all programs are up and running again!)
