[Journalists] Thank you for welcome

I sincerely want to thanks the very few who started a dialog it helps to understand who are the participants on the list built to protect privacy. I chose to be open by design and it's very rare when I do. The silence of this list was intriguing to me, now it speaks volume. Maybe many of you are in the broadcast industry, or on staff with plenty of advices and experiences regarding adaptive technology, and the work accomplished because of it? 
In any  case I wish everyone the best.
Carole
