Hi Al, simple question and simple answer. No, it's not a problem that the
members vary with what they are experienced at. In fact, it's has turned out
to be a strength over all. It seems no matter what came up over the decades
I've been there, someone had some level of knowledge to address it. Often
several had it.
That pertains today as well. Alexey speaks for example to areas not in my
expertise area for the most part. He has 2-3 others whoever who can match and
work out things. Mark and I often speak to nodelist issues with me adding bits
on interzonal issues of potential changes. If a SQL problem comes up, I'm
probably primary source there (SQL/PSQL/TSQL/SQL+/and Oracle BI). With Dallas,
we even add Russian translation (grin).
So, a lot of words to say: No, it's not a problem.
