RE: comment on unmanaged analysis presentation/doc

["Bound, Jim" <Jim.Bound@hp.com>]

Marc did explicitly ask that TSP be a v6ops mechanism for discussion.

To address that question with my input.

I believe TSP is an important tool for users.  I believe we can begin work on this tool within v6ops and support it being worked on within this list.

Others should respond here with your opinion and this is important per Margarets talk 
today.  One way or the other.
