You are correct.  I did not respond to Bruce's proposal.  I attempted to
explain how MyFamily works today, and some of the risks of a client
trusting the MyFamily statement from any one member of the family.  This

not addressing Bruce's proposal.  I leave that to Paul, Roger, and
others more qualified.
