         Beats me why there are two, but I am not going to beat
a dead horse and argue about it any longer though. This was discussed
at length late last summer, and I suggest you go back and re-read
the archive so that you can come to your own informed conclusion.
The outcome of the discussion at that time was that IESG agreed to
have two.
