I'm hoping that it will happen as the Response Center starts to trust Patch/iX
more.  We're in a bit of a catch-22 here as the HPRC (at least when I've
dealt with them) doesn't trust Patch/iX and so it doesn't get used, doesn't
get the kinks worked out and so isn't up to the level that the HPRC is
prepared to trust!  I figure it's going to take a few of us who use it anyway
getting the ball rolling.

To those out there who say, "Oh, I use AutoPat, we tried Patch/iX once and it
didn't work right so we don't use it now," give it a try again.  It's a lot
better than it used to be.  To the folks who are making it better, keep up the
good work, it ain't perfect yet (contact me if you want to know more :-).
