It sounds like that large international consulting job is really stressing you out. At least this is a digital conversation so no trees are being harmed in this exchange.

IT people with very diverse needs from throughout the institution participated in several specialized digital discussion lists for many months to kick around the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed solutions.
