[Coco] Parallel groups

[Chad H]

I'm playing a bit of catch up here, I don't know what problems have been happening lately exactly.  Since I get all posts e-mailed to my HotMail, I did notice a bunch of "Multipack redesign/replacement" posts.   I've been busy working on my own projects but intend to remain active in this community for so long as it remains one of cooperation and collaboration in the spirit of keeping the CoCo experience a growing and positive one .  Are we not still here doing that?

I have to say that if this list shuts down, I will probably drop out with it. I like this list and I like the folks on it. Although I was deeply disturbed with the direction the MPI discussion turned between Nick and Al. <sigh> I don't think your "Keep it pithy" rule/request is unreasonable. If I have to send something large, I take it offline (with the exception of the one time I didn't 8-).
