I wouldn't worry about it. I followed the link and couldn't find whatever
Duane was referring to.

|Sorry about that. ON other occassions I have done the opposite and not
|mentioned the SV's.  The question which precipitated the answer was
|specifically geared towards which SV was leading the effort.   On other
|occassions, I have mentioned other companies and not those.  As far as
|COmmerce One - I missed it this time.  I do however, use xCBL and
|Commerce One in all my PPT's and those have gone out worldwide.
|
|In the end, it all kind of balances out.  The one thing I always do is
|point people at ebxml.org which lists all the companies.
