Query re: Michael Jackson's "Problem Frames" - any listserv or similar?

My e-mail inquiry.

Query re: Michael Jackson's "Problem Frames" - any listserv or similar?
From: William Reilly
To: jblaine@san.rr.com

Greetings, Mr. Blaine,

I came upon your 2002 review of Michael Jackson's "Problem Frames," in Software Quality Professional:
http://www.asq.org/pub/sqp/past/vol4_issue2/resource.html#problemframes

...and thought I might ask if you are familiar with any sort of forum, listserv, wiki, etc., in which people are discussing Problem Frames.

I've recently begun this book,
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/020159627X/
Problem Frames
Michael Jackson. Addison Wesley, 2001.

...led to it by recently finishing Ben Kovitz's, which is based in part on Jackson's problem frames work:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1884777597/
Practical Software Requirements: A manual of content and style.
Manning, 1999.

Thank you for your time in considering my request.

Best regards,
William Reilly

Happy St. Valentine's Day

In September, 1995, I proposed to Lorie in this very spot on the Pont Neuf.

When she said, "Oui," ;^) I threw into the Seine my copy of "Why Men Shouldn't Marry."

Dedans, un monde florissant,
En peuples et en biens puissants
Que de toutes choses abonde."
